Directory
Ripples: Sioux Lookout's Arts @
Culture Directory
is a project that began in 2010 when the need to
showcase Sioux Lookout's many talented artists
and artisans was recognized. Initially a
collaborative project between the Sioux Lookout
Creative Arts Circle and the Municipality of Sioux
Lookout, the Municipal Cultural Division has
endeavored to continue the efforts to actively
promote and enhance the artistic community of
Sioux Lookout by updating the directory for 2015.
In this third volume, the capacity of the directory
has expanded to include cultural organizations,
celebrations and arts and culture related businesses
as well as artists and artisans.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy this informative
and detailed listing of Sioux Lookout's many creative
individuals, organizations, businesses and groups.

live music and supporting local talent.
Hosted by former professional musicians, the

to sit in, jam, improvise - musical adventures full
of surprises and imperfections.
