We’re pleased to announce that the 36th GNAF: ‘Tales of the Taiga’ will be held 9th-14th July, 2025.
The natural richness of the taiga (also known as Boreal Forest) has been an inspiration for many artists. This year we’ll be creating a stunning space where visitors and locals connect through traditional and contemporary narratives, allowing us to celebrate the power of storytelling and cultural heritage, as we honour our region's unique fauna and flora.
During the week of July 9 to July 14, 2025, The Great Northern Arts Festival plans to incorporate contemporary and traditional art exhibits, crafting legends workshops, music and dance performances, as well as storytelling.
