World Art Day 2026: Cultivating Community Through Art

On April 15, RRLIP joins communities around the world in celebrating World Art Day 2026. Guided by this year’s theme, “A Garden of Expression: Cultivating Community Through Art,” we recognize art as a powerful way to share stories, preserve cultures, and foster belonging.
Art creates space for connection and dialogue—especially in diverse communities like Regina. At RRLIP, we value creative expression as a bridge that brings people together, honors lived experiences, and strengthens community relationships. Today, we celebrate the role of art in building inclusive, welcoming communities for all.
