2020 Festival Dates: July 10-19, 2020
For over 30 years, folks have gathered in the vibrant town of Inuvik to celebrate the diverse artistic traditions of the North. Each summer, carvers, painters, traditional artists, jewelers, fashion designers and multimedia artists come together to transform the community’s Recreation Complex into a world-class art exhibition.
The Great Northern Arts Festival (GNAF) is the only pan-northern arts festival in Canada and has been uniting art makers with art lovers for over 30 years. This 10-day event features up to 80 artists and 40 performers, a 4000-piece gallery and the opportunity to work alongside local artisans during hands-on workshops. Carving, textiles, sewing, jewelry, performing arts, arctic fashion and northern culture will be on display throughout the entire event. Stay one day or ten, there is a little something for everyone in this unique gathering of talent and culture.
