The Pas will host this year's Northern Juried Art Show, and there’s still lots of time to register pieces for the event.

 

Elma Dean, one of this year's jurors, discusses the show's roots in The Pas.

 

"It began in 1976 by a group of artists right here in The Pas who decided to create a show that included all of Northern Manitoba.

 

"The history tells us that it went to each different community: Flin Flon, Lynn Lake, Snow Lake, Gillam, Churchill - it's been everywhere."

 

There are adult and youth categories to take part in.

 

Some categories include Oil, acrylic, watercolour, drawing and printmaking, digital art and photography, and 3d art, including stained glass and pottery.

 

Anyone living north of 53 can submit pieces.

 

The event runs from March 21st to the 23rd at the UCN in The Pas, and the deadline to submit art is March 8th.

 

Artists interested in registering can go to northernjuriedartshow.ca.
