The Boreal Shores Art Tour, Manitoba’s largest art tour will return this summer on Saturday, Aug. 15 and Sunday, 16, 2026.

This is a popular, free, road-trip worthy, self-guided art tour, with a chance to visit 35 artists at 24 locations scattered throughout the boreal forest and Lake Winnipeg shore regions of Eastern Manitoba. We have new artists and returning artists with some new mediums and new locations. It's a perfect weekend road trip to take with friends and/or family. Combine viewing art with a day trip and stop at one of the many great eateries in this part of the province. A highlight of this art tour has been the chance to see many of the artists in their studios and view many diverse forms of art, including paintings, ceramics, sculpture, photography, wood turning, wood carving and fabric art. Other locations will feature groups of artists displaying their work together. Brochures with maps to every site will be available and drivers will also see special road signs to help on their journey.
