Held on the lands of the Gwich’in, with our Inuvialuit neighbours. Since 1989, up to 80 visual artists and 40 performers from across the North gather each summer in Inuvik to celebrate the diversity that is Canada's North. They are Inuit, Inuvialuit, Gwich'in, Dene, Metis and many of Canada's additional First Nations, as well as non-Aboriginal artists and artisans; they come from as far away as Pangnirtung on Baffin Island, Gjoa Haven in the Arctic Archipelago, Fort Smith on the NWT/Alberta border, and from the Yukon Territory. The First Great Northern Arts Festival was held in July, 1989. It is an annual event occuring in mid-July and lasts for approximately 10 days. Local visitors and world travellers alike, from Japan, Germany and Denmark, from New York to San Francisco, and Canadians from sea to sea to sea, appreciate the chance to see such a variety and range of talents in one location. Join over 120 visual and performing artists under the midnight sun at the Great Northern Arts Festival: the premiere visual arts event north of 66°!
