Creative Manitoba Indigenous Program

Imagine being young… Okay, now imagine having a chance to explore an arts discipline that excites and interests you every week- for FREE! These three groups of teens did just that in our Group Mentorship Program and came away with a creative spark to power them through the summer.

Create & Elevate: Make and Explore Visual Art participants got the opportunity to connect with visual artists from Winnipeg’s creative scene and explored the use of various media to practice and hone their own personal visions. With their encouraged regular practice and tips on sustaining their artistic futures, they staged a professional final art show (and karaoke party)!

In Curtain Call: Backstage Production in Musical Theatre, participants learned the ins and outs of what it takes to design and build a mainstage production with the professional MTYP production and design team and got hands-on experience building props, painting sets, working with technicians, costume process and design, and more!

Writers participating in the Influential Author Series: A Taste of Genre and Form explored different genres such as historical fiction, speculative fiction, short stories, and personal journalism. The group read edited and polished versions of their pieces at a final wrap up in the Carol Shields Auditorium at the Millennium Library.

Creative Manitoba would like to thank the participants, program leaders and all the guest speakers and instructors who made each session so special! Know someone interested in participating? Stay tuned for 2027’s program offerings, registration opens this fall!
