Call to Communities: WITH ART & Youth WITH ART

The Winnipeg Arts Council invites applications from communities for the WITH ART & Youth WITH ART public art program.

WITH ART matches musicians, playwrights, choreographers, composers, writers, filmmakers, and visual and interdisciplinary artists with communities to collaborate on public art projects based on community goals, the artist's working method, and the partnership that develops. Exploration and the art-making process are central to the program. Communities from across the City who have a history of working together are invited to apply. 

Youth WITH ART is modeled after the established WITH ART program and focuses on youth aged 6-25. Youth-engaged community groups who would like to collaborate on youth-focused art projects are invited to apply.

For full program and application details, please download the Calls to Communities below.

*New DEADLINE added: April 29, 2022

*Applications received at the March 30 deadline are currently being reviewed. April 29 is an additional deadline for Communities.
