The WKP Kennedy Gallery is thrilled to present 100 Years, 100 Perspectives, a community-driven exhibition marking North Bay’s 100th anniversary. We’re inviting 100 artists to create 12x12-inch artworks that capture the essence of our city—its people, places, and culture.

This inclusive exhibition welcomes artists of all ages and skill levels, fostering a vibrant tribute to North Bay’s past, present, and future.

To ensure accessibility, we’re providing free 12x12-inch canvases to all participating artists. Prefer to work on your own surface? That’s fine too—just ensure your final piece (including any framing) measures exactly 12x12 inches.
