April 5 Art Talk/Art Walk: KID STUFF
At this month’s Art Talk, we’ll be speaking with Josh Ruth and Eddie Ayoub, from the community-based arts organization Art City, and Stacey Abramson, an art educator in the public school system, about children’s art education and why it matters. Not every child who takes art lessons will become a professional artist, but art education can boost visual literacy, increase civic engagement and expand creative thinking. And as Wanda Koop, artist and Art City founder, suggests: “My feeling is that if you can think creatively, you can survive almost anything.”  

March 1, 2019 Art Talk/Art Walk:
ART AND THE CITY.
We spoke with Carol Phillips, Executive Director of the Winnipeg Arts Council, about what art brings to cities. Access to culture can expand our sense of place and history. It can foster awareness, build social engagement and enhance the economy. We’ll talk about what makes a creative city, and why Winnipeg has become home to so many fearless and original art makers.
