Manitoba’s arts and cultural organizations are our calling card and the basis of our collective identity.

They tell our stories, enrich our lives and are a significant economic driver. We need these organizations to be strong and resilient to ensure a rich, vibrant and progressive society.

Arts and cultural organizations are grappling with enormous changes, ranging from changing demographics to new technologies. We recognize their ability to grow, change and take risks within a rapidly evolving environment may be a challenge.

We aim to help Manitoba arts and culture organizations respond to this changing environment by providing support to projects that build arts infrastructure. Over the last few years, Manitobans for the Arts has developed partnership and funded initiatives to help organizations adapt.

Purpose

Manitoba Foundation for the Arts cultivates relationships and encourages collaboration that helps influence the arts sector as a whole to adapt to change, innovate, and survive.

Vision

A thriving, diverse, and agile arts sector that represents the community and serves Manitobans.
