The Great Northern Arts Society

Given the remote locations of most Northern communities, it is vital that artists be given the opportunity to access markets and buyers, as well as attend professional development workshops and seminars.

To help accomplish this goal, the Great Northern Arts Society offers workshops and seminars on pricing, marketing, creativity, funding sourcing and grant-writing, artistic integrity, artist biography writing, and many other educational subjects. At the Festival, to promote the art actually created by Northern artists, we show as vast an array of artwork as possible, in medium, technique, and inspiration.

The Society's objectives are to:

• Foster the education and training of Northern artists regarding all facets of the creation and business of the arts through the establishment of a Northern Arts Festival;
  
• Hold, where feasible, workshops and seminars during the year which focus on the above aim;
  
• Promote Northern Artists and guests of the Festival and their artwork, primarily through the organization of non-profit exhibitions at which artists may exhibit and sell their work; and
  
• Do all things incidental to these purposes.
