Spend your week by enjoying the first-ever NWT Arts Pop Up Gallery.

The week-long Pop Up Gallery, hosted in Yellowknife by the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment, will feature local artwork, live demonstrations by NWT artists, and a content-collection area for artists to have their work photographed (by appointment only: [email protected]).

The Gallery will take place at the Centre Square Mall in the Lower Level across from the library elevators. It will run from 11:00 am – 6:00 pm daily.

The NWT arts and crafts sector helps to preserve culture and tradition, and creates economic opportunities for the arts community and tourism industry.
