Northern Lakes Arts Association

Small town - big art! The mission of NLAA is to support and develop the arts -- visual, performing and literary -- in order to enrich the quality of life in Ely, for its members, the community, and the surrounding area of northern Minnesota, as well as promoting artistic development for children. 

Recent projects include the spring musical "Suessical", "Reflections on Water" - a unique production that incorporated local dancers, musicians, poets, photographers, videographers, and artists, and the Prairie Fire Children's Theatre production of "Pinocchio".
