Art is such an integral part of our NWT culture, there is always something happening around this vast territory. Residents of the NWT are greatly influenced by its seasons. Spring is the time for festivals and gatherings as the warmer weather returns with the daylight; summer is the time to learn new techniques and collect raw materials from the land; fall brings Christmas arts and fine crafts sales; and winter is a time to create art and visit with friends and family.
Follow the NWT Arts Facebook Page to keep up with all the latest events.

La 36e édition du Great Northern Arts Festival (GNAF) aura lieu du 9 au 14 juillet 2025. Cette année, le thème est « Tales of the Taiga » (Récits de la taïga). Depuis toujours, la nature riche de la taïga, également appelée forêt boréale, inspire de nombreux artistes. La création d’un espace où les visiteurs et les résidents se rencontrent à travers des récits traditionnels et contemporains permet au GNAF de mettre en valeur le pouvoir de la parole et du patrimoine culturel tout en honorant la faune et la flore uniques de la région.
