Dauphin MLA Brad Michaleski announced yesterday that five local organizations are receiving funds from the Manitoba Arts Council (MAC) and through the Manitoba Arts and Culture Sustainability Fund from the provincial government.
The funding will total $241,600 and the recipients of this year's funding in Dauphin are:
- Dauphin’s Countryfest
- Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival
- Fort Dauphin Museum
- Dauphin Rail Museum
- Zirka Ukrainian Dance Ensemble
The grants were a part of the winter intake for the Arts and Culture Sustainability Fund which are individual grants that provide support to organizations that operate all across the province to enhance the arts and culture sector in their communities.
The government of Manitoba recognizes that these past few years have been an extreme challenge for many of these groups due to the COVID-19 pandemic and these grants are part of the government’s commitment to growing our way out of the pandemic and helping organizations that need a boost as we transition back to a more normal Manitoba.
