Gateway & Nick's Place

Gateway To the Arts (GTTA) is a dynamic canvas for Northern Ontario's arts community, providing a platform for artists of all levels. Founded by Karrie Emms and Dani Lynn Redgrift-Berthelot, GTTA thrives across two storefronts on Main Street in North Bay.

GTTA evolved into an artist's nucleus, hosting markets, Art Battles, and local events, becoming a beacon for the community. During the pandemic, GTTA served as a sanctuary, offering artists a stage and engaging in community initiatives like the Festival of Trees.

Looking ahead, GTTA remains an artistic oasis with eclectic events, workshops, exhibitions, and a warm invitation for artists.

Our biggest endeavor was to create Nick's Place For Us!

At Nick’s Place For Us, we're an 'All Welcome Community' aiming to create a safe haven for youth to explore, learn, and be themselves. Our diverse programs include mentorships, job readiness training, and a wide spectrum of activities beyond sports.

Operating as a family, we build genuine connections with our youth, guiding them toward positive futures. Community support is vital to fuel our programs, empowering us to provide invaluable services to our youth.

Join us in nurturing and empowering young minds. Thank you for being part of our journey.
