The festival of Diwali symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and right over wrong. It is an occasion of high spiritual value as it signifies the opening of our own true light which sparkles within us and sharing this glow with others as well.

The vision of this event was to break cultural barriers and celebrate the spirit of Diwali by embracing diverse art forms to build a sense of community across the Greater Vancouver Lower Mainland. The Society engages with communities through workshops to share the key philosophies of Diwali and showcase diverse artists who practice in a variety of disciplines to encourage inclusiveness.
