OPERATIONAL TEAM
Principal Director
Kehan Fu's journey in the arts began with his passion for bringing people together and a visit to a tiny apartment where he witnessed the magic of the very first 525 pop-up exhibition. He took on the role of Volunteer Coordinator for Nuit Blanche Saskatoon in 2022, steering the festival through its post-COVID comeback and now chairs its fundraising committee.
Kehan's ties to The 525 deepened in 2021 when he co-hosted its first pop-up. Since then, he's joined the City of Saskatoon's Public Art Advisory Committee and the board of Makerspace Saskatoon, where his fundraising skills are put to good use. A firm believer in the power of grassroots and community-led arts projects, Kehan is dedicated to using his experience in nonprofit leadership to create platforms where art and culture thrive. His background in project and relationship management makes him a valuable asset to larger artistic endeavours, proving that passion and community can lead to excellence.
