Faces of Winkler: Stories of Our Neighbours
Jun 26 – Aug 30, 2025

Winkler Arts and Culture is excited to announce this year’s “Faces of Winkler: Stories of Our Neighbours” exhibit! In partnership with Pembina Valley Local Immigration Partnership (PVLIP), this special project will highlight the meaningful relationships between newcomers and long-time residents, focusing on their connections through photography, art, and storytelling.
We need your help to make this exhibit a success!
Call for Nominations – Deadline May 5th! Submit your nomination
Do you know two people whose friendship/relationship tells an inspiring story of two cultures coming together? Nominate them—or even your own connection—to be featured in this exhibit!
Selected nominees will meet with the team at Winkler Arts and Culture to provide a short story about how they became connected in our community. From there, they will have a photographer take their portrait, and a local artist will create a rendition of the picture as well! These artworks, along with their unique story, will be shared in our gallery over the length of the exhibition.
Call for Artists & Photographers Sign up here
We are also looking for portrait photographers and artists to help bring these stories to life. If you’re interested in participating, we’d love to hear from you!
Photographers will meet the selected nominees at an agreed-upon date and location to take their portraits. Artists may meet with the nominees or base their artwork on the portrait or other supplied reference.
