Honoured artist
The galaMODERN 2025 honouring David Thauberger and will be highlighting his incredible contribution to the arts and a special announcement.
David is a celebrated Canadian artist known for his vibrant paintings of vernacular architecture and cultural icons of the prairies. He has created colourful portraits of Saskatchewan buildings—legion halls, false fronted shops, grain elevators, and inner-city bungalows—using geometric shapes and bold colours. Initially trained in ceramics at the University of Saskatchewan, Thauberger was inspired to create work rooted in his own life experiences and geographical region. His achievements have been recognized with numerous honours including being named a Member of the Order of Canada in 2008, receiving the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 2012, and the Lieutenant Governor’s Saskatchewan Artist Award in 2009. His work transcends regionalism while capturing the heart of what it means to be from Saskatchewan, presenting hyper-real pictures that are both ironic and heartfelt.

Event design
galaMODERN 2025’s incredible event design was thanks to the creative talents of Saskatchewan artist Zachari Logan, who is also a studio mate of David Thauberger. His distinctive vision will come to life through breathtaking live and digital visual elements and original artwork by Zachari; which are inspired by the nocturnal natural landscape of the prairies. Every bespoke detail was created to allow all guests to be fully immersed in the grounded feeling of earth and flora native to the region.
