The CRJAE provides an opportunity for artists to receive professional critique from jurors on their work and display their work in professional settings across the Central Region of Manitoba.

This year we received 51 submissions from 21 artists.

From all the submissions 20-30 pieces will be selected to tour across Central Manitoba.

From the pieces selected to tour, 10 pieces are chosen to receive an invitation

to participate in the Manitoba Rural & Northern Juried Arts Show hosted by the MB Arts Network.

The CRJAE is made possible by the efforts of the Central Cultural Council and generously supported by the Manitoba Arts Council.

2022 Members Show

Each year we like to show our appreciation for our awesome Members! One of the ways we do this is by hosting a themed Member’s Show.

This year the theme is “Illuminate”.

Illuminate

• to supply (something) with light: to shine light on (something).
• to make (something) clear and easier to understand.

Wayne was born and raised in southern Manitoba and currently resides in Ashern.

Wayne started painting in 2017 and has since completed over 400 pieces. He specializes in landscape and seascape work with some silhouette work as well. His medium of choice is oil on canvas, granite, wood, and ceramic tiles.

“Each background creates challenges and each one prompts me to improve from the last one”

– Wayne

The rental exhibit provides an opportunity for artists to showcase their work in local businesses and provides local businesses with a rotation of artwork at an affordable rate while supporting the arts in our community.

These are not story boards, but Pop Art images formed in my mind from a script I’ve written.

Even though the story has dark corners, I still try to use bright colors, hoping I guess, that all darkness has an opportunity for light.

Enjoy.
