Under the leadership of the Winnipeg Arts Council, create a comprehensive plan that will maintain and enhance the City of the Arts. During Winnipeg’s designation as one of Canada’s Cultural Capitals in 2010, we have the opportunity to plan for the next phase of cultural development in consultation with Winnipeg’s diverse arts community. In doing this we can secure Winnipeg’s status as a world-leading City of the Arts.

The Winnipeg Arts Council will continue the dialogue on the City of the Arts that began with SpeakUpWinnipeg, leading the community through the strategic planning process. With the strong involvement of the City of Winnipeg and arts sector stakeholders, the new strategy will aim to maintain and enhance the sustainability of the arts and culture community in Winnipeg and will also demonstrate the important role of arts and culture in sustainability, economic development and complete communities.
City Council will be asked to officially recognize Winnipeg as a City of the Arts by endorsing the “Ticket to the Future” strategy. A key path towards achieving the City’s vision, the new arts and culture strategy will guide valuable contributions towards a vibrant, beautiful and livable community where all citizens are provided with opportunities for cultural and artistic expression.
This key path is based on what we’ve heard about City of the Arts
