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.

Arts Forward,
