The Community Arts Centre of Winnipeg

Project Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Project Area: 15000 sq.ft.

​

The Community Arts Centre of Winnipeg proposed to locate at 100 Rue des runies du Monastere, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in the existing guesthouse of the St. Norbert Arts Centre. The building proposed to house a gallery and art workshops to engage the community in the creative process through the visual arts. There is a creative spirit in all of us that nourishes our humanity and enriches our society. This proposed centre will foster a creative culture encouraging people of all backgrounds, ages and skill levels to explore, participate and experiment with the visual arts. The community Arts Center of Winnipeg provides opportunities for people to express themselves through clay, fiber, painting, drawing, and reading. This proposed art centre will host five exhibitions annually with works by members. The site is a desirable location for this arts centre as it is removed from the city setting, allowing the members to focus on discovering their abilities in creativity and self-expression. This quiet area will provide a peaceful respite for those seeking time in arts at the centre.
