About The Program

Manitoba Arts Network’s Visual Arts Touring Exhibition Program makes visual art exhibitions available to arts and cultural organizations throughout the province of Manitoba. The purpose of the program is to provide high quality, cost-effective exhibitions to communities enhancing the awareness and appreciation of regional and national artists.

Exhibitions are selected from both emerging and professional artists, and present a range of media and themes, featuring contemporary work and traditional approaches to artmaking through solo, two-person, and group exhibitions. MAN pays artists a basic exhibition fee each month a touring exhibition is booked. If funding/grants for exhibitions are successfully secured, then artist fees are paid at approved CARFAC rates.

MAN covers costs associated with professional crating of exhibitions, shipping and insurance of works while on tour. Selected exhibitions typically tour for a one-year period either in the current or following year.

The Manitoba Arts Network connects, showcases, and promotes visual and performing artists with rural communities across Manitoba. The Network is dedicated to connecting Manitoba’s communities to the arts.
