Went to @gorgefestival last weekend, and boy, what a time 🤩🤩

Going out can get expensive quick! It had me thinking about ways to save while enjoying what Winnipeg has to offer.

We’re here with three tips to save on a night out.

Merci for everything @nbwpg 🛸

After 4 incredible years, Hyperart is taking a breath and stepping back from running its festival for Nuit Blanche.

Looking back, we are truly moved by the ambitious, bold, community driven art we had the joy of presenting during this emblematic night in our city.

We are so excited to see what our incredible partners at @ccfmanitobain / @cerclemoliere / @urbanshamangallery / @synonymartconsultation / @maisondesartistes put on for Nuit Blanche this year! You might even find some familiar faces…

Nous sommes tellement fières de notre petite équipe, et surtout des artistes incroyables qui nous ont fait confiance et nous ont offert des moments inoubliables au fil des années. We feel a profound sense of gratitude and admiration for all the artists who brought their energy, vision and craft to our festival.

Merci à nos partenaires hôtes au CCFM et au TCM qui ont relevé le défi avec nous et aux nombreux bénévoles qui ont rendu tout ça possible.

Thank you to @urbanshamangallery & @synonymartconsultation for your brilliant curatorial vision throughout the years. Merci au @100nons et au @cjpmanitoba de nous avoir confié divers projets pour la relève de chez nous!

A huge thanks to our production teams, with a special mention to @redroverentertainment for their generosity and @redtentwpg for keeping everyone at the festival safer. Big love to @kilterbrewing for putting the festival in canned form these last few years.

We look forward to whatever the future may hold for Hyperart. Ce n’est qu’un au revoir. We’ll see you out there!
