Cultural Evolut!on
Something local. Something for everyone.
Cultural Evolution was created as a means of supporting local artists, musicians, and students during a challenging year for the arts industry in 2020. Since then, this initiative has blossomed into a highly anticipated event that performers and participants alike eagerly look forward to.
In 2023, we took this show on the road - quite literally - and partnered with Run Regina to engage and entertain both runners and spectators throughout the Queen City Marathon race weekend! We strategically place busking spots along the race route to energize the runners as they pass as well as serendade the spectators while they wait for their loved one to run by!
But the fun is for everyone - at the main race site, we have set up a Cultural Teachings tent that provides a myriad of immersive cultural experiences to entertain, teach and allow participants the opportunity to try something new from another culture that you may not otherwise be exposed to! The best part is - its all FREE!
This series of events continue to be an overwhelming success, and we are excited to build on this momentum in 2024 so check out the schedule before and follow us on Facebook for more event details!
P.S. - You can also check out our "Past Events" tab, where you can watch videos of previous teachings and recaps of past years, as well as info on the other events we host.

2023
Cultural Evolut!on 2023 was a massive success! In partnership with Run Regina, we hosted the event during the Queen City Marathon (QCM) race weekend - September 8th, 9th, and 10th. Activities hosted over those three days included various cultural teachings, as well as several performances from local artists at locations along the QCM race route. Over 60 local artists brought live music to the race, performing for runners and fans.
