Keep the Light Alive

For forty years, Northern Lakes Arts Association has shown what is possible when a community believes the arts belong here.

Your donation helps sustain performances, classes, youth programs, and community events that make creativity accessible to everyone in Ely and the surrounding region. Every gift supports artists, scholarships, and Pay-What-You-Can opportunities so no one is turned away because of cost.

As we celebrate 40 Years in the Making, your generosity helps begin the next act.

You can explore the stories, impact, and vision shaping our 2026 season by reading our digital magazine below.
