Welcome to the Official Northern Arts and Crafts Movement Blog

Our first outdoor arts activism workshops will be held July 17 to 19 at two venues in downtown North Bay, Ontario. Film Collage and Digitization Processes, lead by media artist, Dermot Wilson, will immerse students in found film, new digital capture processes, a field trip to a lost film library and explore the treasure trove of VHS films that wait for us in our basements and attics.

On the same weekend, Premier Award Nominee and master ceramicist, Keith Campbell will be leading a workshop on Contemporary Ceramic Glazing Methods and Photo-stencilling on Clay. This workshop will be great for all ages and experience levels.
