Visual Arts of South Asia (VASA) – Arts Festival

Visual Arts of South Asia (VASA) Arts Festival is a dynamic annual visual arts festival celebrating the rich and evolving heritage of South Asian art within Canada's multicultural landscape. An initiative of the Arts & Culture Initiative of South Asia (ACISA), the festival provides a platform for emerging and established South Asian artists to share work shaped by culture, identity, migration, and lived experience. Rooted in Brampton, Ontario, VASA bridges cultures through gallery exhibitions, public installations, interactive workshops, and artist-led panels. Now in its 10th year, the festival fosters creativity, intercultural dialogue, and community connection through visual storytelling.
