About Manitoba Arts Network
The Manitoba Arts Network is a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to promoting and supporting the arts in Manitoba for over 30 years. The network tours visual and performing artists to communities across the province, bringing high-quality art experiences to audiences of all ages.
The Manitoba Arts Network was founded in 1984 by a group of artists, arts administrators, and community leaders who recognized the need for greater access to the arts in rural and remote areas of Manitoba. Since then, the organization has grown into a vibrant network of over 50 member organizations that work together to bring art events to communities throughout the province.
One of the key goals of the Manitoba Arts Network is to provide opportunities for Manitobans to experience a wide range of artistic disciplines. The network tours visual artists working in mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. They also tour performing artists working in disciplines such as music, theatre, dance, storytelling, and more.
In addition to touring artists across Manitoba's many communities each year (over 100 shows annually), The Manitoba Arts Network also provides professional development opportunities for its members through workshops on topics such as grant writing or marketing strategies. This helps ensure that member organizations are able to continue providing high-quality art experiences long after an artist's visit has ended.
The impact that The Manitoba Arts Network has had on communities across the province cannot be overstated. By bringing art events directly into local schools or community centres where they might not otherwise be available or accessible due to distance or cost barriers - they have helped foster creativity among young people while also providing cultural enrichment opportunities for adults.
