Project Outline
Creative Manitoba has secured multi-year funding from the Canada Council – Digital Strategy Fund to envision, develop and deploy the portal to provide support to Manitoba artists – and their associated industry associations and service organizations through a collaborative undertaking.
This new tool will increase communication, networking and discoverability between Manitoba artists, organizations and the community as a whole. This is not a replacement for existing content and opportunities but, instead, a better way to work together in the digital realm.
Why do we need a digital portal?
- It is hard to build a sense of community and to have a "voice"
- No centralized communications for all disciplines, locations and demographics in Manitoba
- Need one place to find employers/employees, collaborators, mentor/mentee and resources and services
- It is a challenge to compete or to stay current
- It is easy to miss out on opportunities
Guiding Principles
- Encompass all artistic disciplines and levels of experience
- Inclusive of the entire province of Manitoba
- Safe, respectful, friendly and accessible
- Centralized source for opportunities and events
- Increased connections, visibility, and discoverability
- Cross-sector and like-minded engagement
- Linkable and shareable
- Easy to use, find and interact with
- A valuable, reliable and useful resource
What we plan to build
- Directory
- Registry of artists and arts organizations throughout Manitoba to enhance discovery and connectivity.
- Opportunity Boards
- Jobs, volunteer opportunities, calls for collaborators and calls for submissions from the arts sector.
- Events
- Centralized listing of arts and cultural events from all disciplines across Manitoba.
- Forums/Groups
- Where like-minded people can meet and discuss topics that relate to them and ask questions of the community.
- Resources
- Centralized information for grants, equipment rentals, studio spaces, supplies and services.
- Newsletter
- Arts and culture news from across Manitoba and a bi-weekly e-newsletter customized to the user's preferences.
