The Culture Policy and Action Plan recognizes and celebrates the whole of Manitoba’s diverse cultural sector.  It acknowledges the sector’s contribution as an economic driver, and as a source of pride and belonging.

In the lead up to the 2018 Municipal Election, Manitobans for the Arts called on Mayoral and Councillor Candidates in Winnipeg to commit to implementing three strategies, to ensure their term will include arts, culture, heritage and creativity.

On March 21, 2017, representatives from the Manitobans for the Arts Board and Advocacy Committee were joined by leaders in the arts and cultural community in meetings with all City of Winnipeg Councillors.

Manitobans for the Arts coordinated a delegation made up of 27 members of the creative community to meet with 32 MLAs, Ministers and Deputy Ministers and discuss issues pertinent to arts and culture communities in Manitoba.
