We are thrilled to announce “Rural Reverie,” an exhibition organized by the Manitoba Society of Artists (MSA) and will take place at Winkler Arts and Culture from October 3 to November 6, 2024!

This exhibition features a diverse collection of works by Manitoba artists, showcasing both abstract and representational art forms. The pieces selected for “Rural Reverie” reflect the complexities of life, acting as both an escape and a celebration. Themes of thought, festivity, and gratitude are woven throughout, inviting visitors to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Each artwork aims to evoke emotions and prompt reflection, celebrating the intricacies of life through artistic expression.

Our September exhibit, Bell Exhibition 2.0, is now showing!

This collection by Scott Bell and his daughter, Grace Bell, features an exceptional variety of work. With over 30 pieces on show, this exhibit displays the breadth of the Bell’s abilities and will definitely keep any viewer engaged.

We have the privilege of showing these pieces until September 28th and of hosting an exhibit reception on Friday, September 20th at 7:00 pm.

We invited our community of artists to consider the word “perspective” as they submitted pieces for our exhibit, “The Way We See It”. For some, they interpreted it as an interesting angle that a subject might be viewed from, for others, it’s more about how they perceived the subject.

Everyone has a unique viewpoint or interpretation and this exhibit captures these perspectives through 29 artworks consisting of photography and paintings, created by:

• Angela Elias
• Shannon Mann
• Scott Bell
• Grace Bell
• Cherlyn Peters
• Naomi Heide
• Kevin Driedger
• Terrance Klassen
• Mary Klassen
• Marge Fehr

Many of the pieces are accompanied by a message from the artist explaining their perspective, the meaning, or the story behind their work.

The exhibit will be on display from July 4^th through August 31^st with the reception scheduled mid-way through on July 18^th at 7 pm – George Harold Epp (Terra Sinfonica) will be playing for those in attendance!

Winkler Arts and Culture is thrilled to host the P2P Show this June. Curated by Golden Prairie Arts Council, this traveling exhibit will be showcased in multiple galleries throughout south-central Manitoba, including ours.

The P2P Show celebrates the artistic talent and creative expression of local artists from our region. As this exhibit journeys across different communities, it offers a unique opportunity to experience a diverse range of perspectives and artistic styles.

Join us at Winkler Arts and Culture to explore this amazing collection and support the arts throughout our communities!

We are always amazed by the talent found within the art programs at both Garden Valley Collegiate and Northlands Parkway Collegiate. This May, we are once again celebrating the next generation of artists who will go on to bring colour, design, and expression into the world!

This exhibit will run from May 2nd – 27th, 2024.
