Wonderhorse Music and Art Festival - NEW DATES* September 2020
2020-09-03 - 2020-09-06
Wonderhorse was born from a need to make, present and cultivate art and music differently in the yukon. To create safe and inclusive creative spaces for art-making, dialogues, and mentorship that is shared by people and artists of varying cultural backgrounds, languages, age, ability, artistic practice, and aesthetic. To take artistic risks. To build capacity and opportunity for underrepresented groups, particularly young artists, Indigenous artists, and those living in rural communities.

Artists will arrive in Whitehorse, YT and will travel by convoy to Dawson City, where the event will take place. Events will include an exclusive burlesque performance in the Territory’s famous and historic Palace Grand theatre, two days of tattooing in one of the oldest still-standing (and haunted) buildings from the Klondike-era: The Westminster Hotel, amazing local catering for artists and staff, TWO art exhibitions featuring work from participating tattoo artists, an exciting night of live music, and a trip up to the city’s highest point, overlooking both the Rocky, Ogilvie, and Tombstone Mountain ranges: The Dome.
We hope to promote the advancement of Yukon arts and culture in northern communities through tattooing and tattoo-related art forms, and as well as cultivate local artists across multiple genres and introduce international artists to the Yukon and Canada’s north by having an extravagant weekend filled packed with entertainment and quality.
