SUMMARY:Building Your Artist Bundle: Session 3 - Giizhik
DESCRIPTION:Urban Art Biz- Building Your Artist Bundle is a series of four workshops to help Indigenous Artists prepare a fully realized grant application in time for the spring 2027 funding deadlines. Our goal is to walk you through each step of the grant application process to help you increase your chances of securing funding for your project. \nThis workshop will be held IN PERSON. \nOur third session – Giizhik (Cedar) – Respect and Honour – will help you figure out all the financial aspects\, devise a timeline for your proposed project\, and make sure you are doing things in a good way.  \nCedar\, or giizhik\, offers protection and healing. It is a strong medicine used in purification ceremonies\, for protecting your space\, and can be used in teas.  In Anishinaabe teachings\, cedar sits in the northern doorway. The north is connected to winter\, rest\, our Elders\, and wisdom. The most important protocol with cedar is respect. People should never over-harvest and should avoid taking pieces larger than the size of their hand. When harvesting cedar\, it is important to take only small amounts\, to offer thanks\, and to acknowledge the spirit of the tree. Giizhik teaches respect and reminds us to protect life and to honour the sacredness of all living things.  \nEach of our four workshops will be led by an established Indigenous Artist or Relational Maker. \nSATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 27\, 2027  1 – 3:30 PM  Giizhik (Cedar) – Respect and Honour \n\nProject Timeline – Steps involved in the project\, dates\, dissemination\nBudgeting – Materials\, equipment\, travel\, living expenses\, crew\, Elder fees\, etc.\nCommunity Accountability – What impact will this project have within the community?\n\nWe ask that you bring: \n1. A laptop\, a tablet\, something for you to take notes on\n2. Your completed project description from session 2\n3. Any relevant information that might be useful in crafting your project description \nOnce we have refined the vision for our project\, defined the parameters and logistics\, we need to create an achievable timeline\, and realistic budget. What should go into your budget? Can you ask for living expenses? And how much? How much will your materials cost? are you renting space? What is the rate of pay for technicians or helpers? how do you determine payment or gifts for Elders and knowledge keepers? If you are travelling\, what expenses can be put into the budget? What is Per Diem? Can you put the purchase of hard goods in your budget\, like tools\, sewing machines\, or a laptop? There’s a lot to consider and a lot to take in account. Community accountability is also a question that appears on grant applications. How will the outcome of your project affect the community? Do you have all permissions required? Are you doing things in a good way? \nLight refreshments will be offered. \nMAXIMUM 20 participants. \nUrban Art Biz is a series of workshops focused on the business side of art from an Indigenous perspective. Urban Art Biz was developed by Creative Manitoba’s Indigenous Programs and is presented in partnership with Urban Shaman Contemporary Indigenous Art Gallery. \nFor information on all sessions in Urban Art Biz – Building Your Artist Bundle series follow this link. \nThe workshops will be held IN PERSON at Creative Manitoba. Creative Manitoba is located on the 2nd floor of the new Market Lands Building – Unit C\, 148 King St.\, between City Hall and Red River College. Entry is on the south side of the building facing William Ave.  An entry code will be sent to you upon registration. \nQuestions? Please email indigenous@creativemanitoba.ca

SUMMARY:Fifteen Dogs
DESCRIPTION:Over drinks at a local watering hole\, Greek gods Apollo and Hermes wager that any animal would die unhappy if granted human intelligence. For their experiment\, they choose man’s best friend – fifteen of them. After “the change”\, the dogs marvel at their gift of language and revel in their newfound mindfulness. But curiosity turns to unrest when clashes over status\, freedom and conformity threaten the pack. \nAs the gods meddle from above\, the dogs wrestle with the complications of their new world order\, often with devastating\, and sometimes hilarious consequences. Will they roll over and accept their fate or stay true to their natural instincts? \nShows generally begin at 7:30pm or 2:00pm depending on the date. See website for specific details.

SUMMARY:Building Your Artist Bundle: Session 4 - Mashkodewashk
DESCRIPTION:Urban Art Biz- Building Your Artist Bundle is a series of four workshops to help Indigenous Artists prepare a fully realized grant application in time for the spring 2027 funding deadlines. Our goal is to walk you through each step of the grant application process to help you increase your chances of securing funding for your project. \nThis workshop will be held IN PERSON. \nOur fourth session –  Mashkodewashk (Sage) – Resilience and Renewal\, is a look at the materials you will submit to support your grant application\, the criteria the funders look for\, and a final read through of your project to make sure everything you want and need to say is included.  \nSage\, or mashkodewashk\, is a medicine used for cleansing and purification. It helps remove negative energy\, thoughts\, and emotions\, and brings renewal and balance to the spirit. In Anishinaabe teachings\, sage sits in the western doorway. The west is where the sun sets and is connected to the autumn season. Sage helps people cleanse with goodness and release what is no longer needed\, purifying the mind\, body\, and spirit. Bundling sage is both a physical and spiritual act. It involves giving thanks to the plant\, leaving some behind to regrow\, and recognizing the humility that comes with receiving gifts from the land. There are many types of sage\, and each community or region may have its own preferred variety. Sage is a medicine of resilience and renewal that teaches people to approach life and ceremony with a clean heart and mind. \nEach of our four workshops will be led by an established Indigenous Artist or Relational Maker. \nSATURDAY\, MARCH 13\, 2027 1 – 3:30 PM  Mashkodewashk (Sage) – Resilience and Renewal \n\nSupporting Material – Maximum amount of samples\, formats\, labelling\, uploading.\nFinal once-over – Checking word counts\, spelling\, grammar\nEvaluation Criteria – Artistic merit\, relevance\, feasibility\n\nWe ask that you bring: \n1. A laptop\, a tablet\, something for you to take notes on \n2. Samples of your work for supporting material \n3. Any relevant information that might be useful for the finishing touches on your application \nChoosing the correct support material proves your artistic merit\, gives context to your proposal\, and shows juries your technical ability. For grant evaluators with limited time\, strong documentation often determines whether a proposal is funded or rejected. Samples of your current or past work that are related to your project\, show the jury what you are capable of creating\, provides essential context and tangible evidence of your skills. Your support material also demonstrates feasibility: CVs\, letters of support\, and technical specs prove you have the skills\, partners\, and organization to pull the project off and allows the jury to experience your aesthetic. We’ll also discuss the technical rules: Respect file formats\, length limits\, and streaming links (such as YouTube\, Vimeo\, or SoundCloud) and why a quality over quantity matters. We’ll also discuss how the jury of peers for funding bodies work\, what they are looking for\, and what to do if you don’t receive a grant. \nLight refreshments will be offered. \nMAXIMUM 20 participants. \nUrban Art Biz is a series of workshops focused on the business side of art from an Indigenous perspective. Urban Art Biz was developed by Creative Manitoba’s Indigenous Programs and is presented in partnership with Urban Shaman Contemporary Indigenous Art Gallery. \nFor information on all sessions in Urban Art Biz – Building Your Artist Bundle series\, click here. \nThe workshops will be held IN PERSON at Creative Manitoba.

SUMMARY:Waiting for Godot
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible that two seemingly homeless men represent all of humanity as they wait for someone – or something – to give their lives meaning? As Vladimir and Estragon wait for the mysterious “Godot”\, they banter about minor complaints like the tightness of their boots\, to major questions like the meaning of existence. Torn between hope and uncertainty\, this hapless pair hosts an array of strange visitors while dutifully waiting for their promised salvation. \nDeeply influential and iconically enigmatic\, Samuel Beckett’s comic\, absurdist masterpiece asks the simple yet profound question\, “What are we doing here?” Today\, Vladimir might be talking to us when he reassures his pal\, “Tomorrow\, everything will be better.” \nShows generally begin at 7:30pm or 2:00pm depending on the date. See website for specific details.

SUMMARY:fareWel
DESCRIPTION:There’s a cry for change on Partridge Crop Reserve. The welfare cheques are late – if they’re coming at all – the Chief is pushing his luck in Vegas (again) and a restless desperation has led to rumblings of self-government. There’s a lot at stake and establishing a new system without real change feels like building a house on a crumbling foundation. Can this spirited group of ordinary Joes ditch the fareWel for good and take control of their lives? \nCrackling with Ian Ross’s trademark wit and warmth\, this dark comedy about life and politics on a Reserve was awarded the 1997 Governor General’s Award for Drama. \nShows generally begin at 7:30pm or 2:00pm depending on the date. See website for specific details.
