Northern Ontario Arts

The arts in Northern Ontario celebrate the creativity, heritage, and innovation of communities across the region, from Borups Corners and Dyment to Dryden and beyond. Central to this cultural landscape is Art Borups Corners, which leads interdisciplinary, digital, and community-based arts initiatives that engage local artists, youth, and residents. Supported by the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts, the arts in Northern Ontario highlight how rural and northern creativity contributes to broader provincial and national cultural identity. Through workshops, exhibitions, and collaborative projects, these initiatives foster connection, strengthen community capacity, and showcase the North as a vibrant hub for artistic excellence.
