Antigonight: Art After Dark has been Antigonish Culture Alive’s most recognizable and popular outdoor, public art event since 2010. The festival provides an opportunity for artists to display interactive artworks spanning multiple mediums, such as dance, theatre, music, sound art, and installation art, which intend to celebrate the community-minded roots of rural Nova Scotia and the artists who make this region home. Exhibits and performances are found on the street, sidewalks, in storefronts, alleyways, and other nooks and crannies of downtown Antigonish. This year our festival's theme is BEYOND and will take place on September 15 & 16. It is FREE, open to all, and accessible by wheelchair and stroller. Antigonight acknowledges the over-representation of White, cisgender, able-bodied voices in the arts. We prioritize and encourage perspectives, work, and input from individuals who belong to Nova Scotia (Mi'kma'ki/L'nuewa'ki)'s marginalized and underrepresented communities.
