Welcome! The North Bay Art Association (NBAA) is a group of artists who enjoy creating. Our group includes over 50 artists from North Bay and the surrounding area, including all levels of artists from beginning to professional. Artists work in a variety of mediums and styles. We enjoy connecting to learn, socialize, share our artwork, and provide constructive feedback if desired in order to improve. The NBAA is one of the 16 member organizations that comprise the Northern Ontario Art Association (NOAA).
