The Northern Juried Art Show (NJAS) is an annual art show hosted by a different northern Manitoba community each year. The NJAS was first held in 1977 and has continued each year since.  

 

The mandate of the NJAS is to provide a venue for artists of all ages and abilities who reside north of 53rd parallel to show their artwork, be juried by professional artists, support young artists, provide educational workshops, give opportunity for artists to network with their peers and be exposed to the work of other artists. It also provides exposure to audiences outside of the north by way of association with the Manitoba Arts Network and the Manitoba Rural and Northern Juried Art Show. Prizes are given in varying categories to recognize achievements and encourage artists to continue their art. The show is open for viewing by the general public and serves to broaden the artistic experience of the community. The NJAS draws artists from all of northern Manitoba.
