Join us with Knowledge Keeper Albert Mcleod as he takes us through the events, repercussions, and resistance that have faced Indigenous Peoples throughout history. Learn how we can access Indigenous teachings, protocols and knowledge systems to help us through our current crisis. COVID-19 isn't the first virus that Indigenous people have had to seek refuge from. This is about the interconnection of all things with an understanding of how humanity is a part of a greater ecosystem, not separate from it.⁣

In partnership with @creativemanitoba we are excited to offer a FREE Webinar 💻💬🤓
Artist Taxes with RêveNew Practice Management will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, April 15, 2020, from 6 - 8 PM. Please register through creativemanitoba.ca (link in bio). 🗂️ As artists, it’s important to understand how taxation rules can work for you. In this 2-hour seminar participants will learn:
» What expenses are deductible and which are not
» Sole proprietorship vs partnership vs corporation
» The taxation rules related to each of the above
» GST
» Payroll (Deductions, T4, etc.)
» Lease vs buying decision
» How to defend against a CRA audit
» How to keep proper documentation (bookkeeping and receipt keeping)
» Miscellaneous tax tips and traps

Image Description: The top of the square graphic is a detail from a much larger tempera on panel painting by the Belgian artist Pieter Brueghel the Younger titled "The Peasant Lawyer," ca. 1620. In the image detail, we see a close up of a lawyer's office-floor scattered with crumbled papers and bags of money, the booted feet of one a villager visiting the lawyer is seen above. The bottom half of the graphic is text on a white background divided into two columns. The first column reads "FREE WEBINAR!" (black text) ARTIST TAXES" (seafoam green text). The second column reads "April 15, 2020, 6-8 PM, Register at Creative Mantioba.ca" (in black text). #carfac_mb #carfac #artequalswork #artsadvocacy #canadianart #contemporaryart #hastheartistbeenpaid #artistworkshop #manitobaart #taxesforartists #freewebinar #creativemanitoba

✨ defining digital art, where's Winnipeg?, Merging Mindsets, AND MORE ✨

Julie Gendron, multi-disciplinary artist and conference coordinator and art director for the Merging Mindsets Conference happening this weekend, March 13&14. We talk to Julie about some og digital art projects and collectives around Canada including Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, and how she is trying to bridge the digital art gap to Winnipeg. We had no idea what "digital art" really means so Julie walked us through it and told us about some of the conference panels that are so interesting!!! You should try and check it out, we will see you there!

Whether you’re a designer or craftsman, an artist or a maker, Mary Franck’s @mary.franck keynote speech will reveal the techniques needed to succeed in today’s diverse creative landscape.

Interdependent and Interdisciplinary: A New Creative Mindset

As creative fields increasingly collide and cross pollinate, innovative leaders must unite a growing number of disparate disciplines if they want to succeed. From her experience designing projects for stage production, museums, events, and architectural installations, Mary has developed a unique strategic toolkit for leading interdisciplinary projects.

The Merging Mindsets Conference will feature an incredible Installation Showcase highlighting how artists are using tech.
We are thrilled to have Faisal Anwar @faisalanwarstudio return to exhibit his piece CharBagh! ‘CharBagh’ (quadrilateral garden) is a participatory digital art project by new-media artist Faisal Anwar creating ornate geometric patterns through conversations in real time. Modelled on the traditional grid compositions of Persian gardens, each pattern grows and shifts in response to data generated on social media and collected by the artist. The first time presented in 2015 on the façade of the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, Anwar’s project encourages the public to meaningfully participate in online conversation in order to empower social change. Last year the work was part of the exhibition titled Garden in the Machine, at the Surrey Art Gallery, where Anwar led focused workshops with community groups discussing themes related to sustainable food production, climate change, and peoples' changing relationships with nature.

In the installation, the structured Islamic geometrical scheme becomes a powerful metaphor working with open data and investigating today’s sociopolitical territories. The data is collected using Instagram through thematically curated hashtags to generate a conversation about climate crises in our cities and and are relation to it. Using creative coding, algorithms, the artist morphs these photos into ornate geometric designs. This project exemplifies how social media can be a tool for positive social change.
