The 42nd Northern Juried Art Show has been cancelled due to a lack of participation.
Leigh Hall, the president of the show's organization committee, said that the decision was difficult, but one that the committee was forced to make as holding the show this year is not viable. She said that there has been a decline in participants over the last few years, and that even though they extended the submission deadline a minimum number was not reached.
Hall added that the committee can "only hope that next year it can continue with renewed interest of the artists north of the 53rd" and that they will endeavor to work towards next year.
The committee said that all artwork and fees that were submitted will be returned promptly to the artists that did submit work and they can pick up their work at the artists' earliest convenience.
All donations to the show, either monetary or in kind, will be given back with thanks.
The show was scheduled to take place from May 18th through the 20th at the Thompson Regional Community Centre.
