Arts, Culture & Entertainment

Perhaps because Elliot Lake and its surrounding wilderness are much-loved subjects for canvases and photographs, the city has become home to a dynamic arts and cultural community. Numerous clubs offer places for people of all ages to partake in drama, dance, music, pottery, and amateur theatre.

The highly successful Elliot Lake Entertainment Series is the foremost presenter of performing arts in the community. This organization sponsors Canadian performers and offers a series of four or more shows per season. Many famous performers have been brought to Elliot Lake including: Buffy Sainte-Marie, John McDermott, Quaretto Gelato, George Fox, Liona Boyd, Sylvia Tyson, Forever Plaid… to name a few.
