Artist Opportunities

The NWT Arts Program continues to create new opportunities for artists to show and sell their work directly to consumers, as well as network with potential future clients, collaborators, and supporters.

If artists can apply for funding to participate in the opportunity, it will be clearly noted in the call. The deadline for applications will also be noted in each call.
