"Sound art can stand alone as an artwork or be one part of a whole. Sound is essential to our experience of the world, and these artists use the creation & manipulation of sound as their artistic medium."- from the Listening Station didactic text

​Holophon Audio Arts is a non-profit organization supporting sound art and experimental music in Saskatchewan. The organization was founded in 2008 and is centered in Treaty 4 Territory/Regina.

Holophon engages communities using sound as an artistic medium, promoting sound art and experimental music through live performances, concerts, workshops, community events, and educational programming. In our projects we look for ways to unite artists and audiences across disciplines and specializations using sound as an integral artistic component.

Holophon works to increase awareness of and to develop sound art practices in the province of Saskatchewan and on the Great Plains of Canada, and to encourage and facilitate discussion around critical and creative listening.

Incorporated in 1996, Sâkêwêwak First Nations Artists’ Collective has been supporting Indigenous artists in the Regina area for over two decades. All artists need a community of support and peer engagement in order to succeed. Sâkêwêwak provides this support, giving artists a chance to create, grow, and reach audiences.

The Regina Indigenous arts community first organized in 1991 as Ironbow, which later incorporated as Circle Vision Arts Corporation, an Indigenous arts service organization provincial in scope.

In 1993, with the assistance of Circle Vision, the Regina region organized under the name Sâkêwêwak, a Saulteaux word meaning “they are emerging” or “they are coming into view.”

During the collective’s formative period, the name was chosen to reflect the community’s vision for an organization that would support the emergence of new challenges identifying current and historical reference points and exploring contemporary artistic concerns. Later, as new partnerships were established, regular programming, including a variety of presentation activities, was introduced into the organizational mandate.
