MANITOBA ARTS NETWORK

PERFORMANCE ARTS PROGRAM

The Manitoba Arts Network represents community arts organizations in rural and northern Manitoba. Our touring program assists these presenters and artists/managers to coordinate block-booked tours and one-time performances. Annually we publish a comprehensive Performing Touring Directory, which lists artists available for touing within the province. This Directory, which is the primary source of artist information for our community presenters, is seen by over 100 presenters throughout Manitoba and North Western Ontario and is available in print form and on the website: click on "directories" further down the page.

The Manitoba Arts Network is currently developing an online artist directory and block booking system. As a special introductory offer, all Touring Directory Submissions will also be included in our new online artist directoy for 2010-2011 at no extra charge.

Other benefits to artists/agents include:

  1. Promotion of performing artists via our annual showcase presenters meeting.
  2. Ongoing consideration of performing artists via booking activities done through our Touring Network.
  3. Distribution of promotional materials to community presenters upon their request.

Our Performing Arts program, with Barb Besner as its Coordinator, organizes block bookings for its member presenters throughout the province. This program is a resource for our members and supports opportunities for performing artists to present their work throughout Manitoba. These programs are designed to encourage the development of arts and cultural activity in rural and remote communities.

 

We will be presenting live showcases of performers interested in touring rural and northern Manitoba, at our 2010 Manitoba Showcase in Dauphin, on October 16th, 2010. Representatives of community arts organizations attend this event for the purpose of networking, professional development and selecting performers for their 2011/12 season.
