Funding cuts to arts and culture has placed additional pressure on arts organizations and artists across the province. Arts and cultural organizations are essential to the well-being of Manitobans, giving people a sense of connection and belonging. Cultural hubs such as libraries also generate safety through community connection.
Goals
- Increase funding for the Manitoba Arts Council and Winnipeg Arts Council.
- Increase core funding for arts organizations across Manitoba to support sustainable programming.
- Increased funding, hours and staffing for public libraries.
