As the summer comes to a close, the Sioux Narrows Arts Council would like to reach out to its artists, patrons and volunteers. It has been a year like no other, and we thank you for your continued support during these difficult times. The Sioux Narrows Arts Festival would like to remind everyone that some 2020 artists have links on our website. Connect with artists, view their website or Facebook posts and buy art online in August at www.siouxnarrowsartsfestival.com.

Moving Forward
The Sioux Narrows Arts Council will continue to move into 2021 with programming and events that meet the COVID-19 guidelines. Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization and everyone is encouraged to continue to contribute. Whether it is two hours or two days, from Sioux Narrows or from far away, online or in person, community support is what makes this festival the longest running one of its kind in Northwestern Ontario. 
Today we are calling for new volunteers and committee members interested in helping to create exciting community events and arts education opportunities. We are presently looking for help with the following tasks.
1. Artists in the Park, a fundraising event for the Sioux Narrows Arts Festival, Saturday September 12th. 
2. 2021 Planning Committee, 60th Anniversary Celebrations 
3. Arts Workshops for all ages 
4.  Bookkeeping assistance
