Manitobans for the Arts is excited to announce our monthly series of informal get-to-togethers for members of the cultural sector, entitled “Draft Culture.” These events will gather individuals from across all disciplines and levels of the arts community for open discussions on topics that are important to our organizations and practises. By having these conversations amongst our members, we can create strategies that will make our sector stronger.
Each monthly event will be “hosted” by an individual with insight into the specific topic for that session. The host will introduce the subject and move the conversation along. Our best resource is our members, and by exchanging ideas, we aim to benefit everyone in the room.
As an advocacy group, we thought that our first topic should be… wait for it… Advocacy. This session will be hosted by Sean McManus, Board member of Manitobans for the Arts and Executive Director of the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra.
