WEGO Photo Wrap-Up

One of Remai Modern’s most-loved events returned on August 24 and 25. WEGO 2025 animated Remai Modern and River Landing once again, inviting thousands of visitors to enjoy a vibrant, free festival of art, music, dance, hands‑on fun, and much more.

WEGO was funded in part by the Government of Canada. We are also grateful for Sandbox Mutual Insurance’s support of the Tipi Grounds, and Saskatoon Co-op for sponsoring our BBQ.

Take a look at some of the memories we captured along the way. All photos by Carey Shaw.
