The Tamarack Arts Association is an incorporated charitable organization created to advance public appreciation of the arts in Northern Ontario by producing public art exhibitions, presentations, and performance arts events, and to provide a forum for qualified artists from Northern Ontario to exhibit, present, or perform their artistic works and be paid industry wages. 

 

The Tamarack Arts Association is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible space for audiences, staff, volunteers and artists. This includes programming socially-relevant work that promotes diversity and inclusion, while supporting equity-deserving groups. We believe that the arts are a powerful tool in the pursuit of social justice and we are committed to telling stories that uplift under-served communities and educate the public. 

 

Another key element of the association’s mandate is to provide professional development opportunities to local artists and those from surrounding communities. This mentorship model will build capacity in the north and allow local artists to develop their own arts initiatives in Northern Ontario.
