About the Event
A celebration of creativity, culture, and purpose—exploring the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai through visual art, film, and community
In celebration of Asian Heritage Month, join us for the Ikigai Youth Festival, a vibrant celebration of emerging Canadian youth artists as they explore the Japanese concept of Ikigai—the wisdom behind living a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Through painting, photography, drawing, and short films, artists will express what brings them purpose, joy, and connection. From the literal to the abstract, this festival showcases the diverse ways in which young creatives interpret their Ikigai through art in all its forms.
