Presenting the communities of the
Great North Woods with opportunities to
participate and experience the musical,
cultural, and performing arts

From the start, the GNWCA has emerged with venues that invite individuals to partake and to enjoy the artistic offerings of both local and regional talents.

With the creation of the “Winter Warmers” concert series, “Belle of Amherst,” IMAI string ensemble, TUBACHRISTMAS, Open Mics, and more, it has become a valued part of our community. The talents of many musicians, local, regional, and international, have been showcased since the founding of the GNWCA in 2005.

It is the hard work and the vision of its founders that provided the nucleus for visual, cultural, and performing arts to be brought to the North Country.

What began as a “seed” concept at the North Country Summit held in May 2003, the GNWCA has now grown roots and continues to thrive thanks to its volunteers and the ever-growing interest.

We are fortunate to have individuals who share in our love of the arts and look to the future with us. It is in broadening our membership, reaching out to performers for their support, and in holding true to the founders of this organization’s concepts that we will grow and flourish to provide a wide range of arts-related venues to the community.
