The workshops offered at Creative Manitoba come in a variety of forms for different kinds of artists — we present seminars, courses, and workshops throughout the year for independent artists as well as cultural and arts organizations.

We are committed to creating equitable, safe and welcoming spaces that fully represent our diverse and intersectional membership and their needs, including the acknowledgement of various systems of power at play and how those affect our communities.
