Perhaps the two most recognizable features of Canada’s North, the arts and culture component of the Northern Lights event is truly a spectacular showcase of talent!
From the opening ceremonies to the trade show floor, to the Gala finale, visual and performing arts – including demonstrations and displays, as well as musical, cultural, and theatrical performances – will be showcased throughout the four-day event.
The Arts and Cultural Pavilion will also be located in the pre-function area of the third floor of the Shaw Centre overlooking the Rideau Canal. This will provide regional artists the opportunity to stage and market their inspiring creations.
To be considered, you must represent either Nunavut, Nunavik, or Labrador. The intent of this event is to promote and develop markets for local arts and crafts to a national / international audience.
This is a highly sought-after event for craftspeople! The Pavilion is a low-risk environment for craftspeople, provides significant training opportunities during the morning workshop program to scale-up your business, and offers craftspeople access to a variety of buyers and gallery representatives from across Canada and abroad. In 2020, participants sold a record $160,000 in product in 14 hours.
