Video Pool Media Arts Centre aims to inspire curiosity and creative expression through open exploration of technology in all media art forms, focusing on practices that are adventurous, independent, and explore niche approaches to art and technology. We strive to cultivate experimental artistic practices and accessibility to technology through presentation, production, distribution and education while also supporting the greater arts community through our programs, facilities and expertise.

VP houses the largest collection of prairie video art in Canada, distributing work internationally to festivals, galleries and institutions. Our presentation facilities include Poolside Gallery, The Output venue, and The Pivot education centre, and our production studios include our analog A/V studio, The Adventure Lab, and the 8.1-channel Immersion Studio.

Founded in 1991, Wild Roots Theatre is a Winnipeg-based, incorporated charitable theatre organization dedicated to environmental education through performance—what we proudly call "Theatre for the Planet". Starting out as activists, we have grown to offer programming for kids, families and the general public, creating participatory theatrical experiences that make environmental and community issues feel real, urgent, and personal.

We explore environmental science through theatre, allowing participants to imagine, empathize and laugh, all while understanding the serious issues we face. We inspire audiences and participants to be gentler on our planet, giving them both hope and accountability through meaningful yet simple changes in daily habits, with tangible goals.  Our programming is informative, realistic, and optimistic, emphasizing community spirit and individual action, with the message that every little bit of help is an invaluable contribution.

Through love of theatre -story, play, and emotional engagement- we elicit connection and real action. We aim to create artistic, engaging and memorable theatrical experiences that promote environmental stewardship and empower people of all ages to participate in climate protection. Grounded in sustainable practices, we are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in all the work we do.
