What Our Delegates Are Saying!
As always, Manitoba Showcase was vital to our programming year. The scope of the offerings, from performing arts to visual arts to professional development, was amazing considering how we managed to pack it all into one weekend.
We were particularly pleased wiht the focus on indigenous arts, culture, and practices at this year’s Showcase event. We came away with reams of new ideas and advice on how to carry on and move forward as an arts centre in Manitoba.
As Presenters, Manitoba Showcase is the most important event for us each year. Manitoba Arts Network helps us to select performances, attract bigger audiences, and teach us new event management skills
Showcase is a perfect chance to network with our colleagues, and to get excited about the talent and potential shows that we can bring to our communities. We wouldn’t miss it!
Amazing performances and great time to network with other organizations/stakeholders!
