Arts West Council
Mandate
Arts West Council is an organization of volunteers who are interested in the development of the visual arts in the Westman Region. Membership is composed of individual artists from across the region. The constitution of the Council is on file with the Manitoba Arts Council. Our mandate includes fostering art with cultural integrity in the Westman Region.
In the past, Council has offered a variety of programs, including workshops, sponsorship of lectures, arts festivals, summer arts programs for children and an arts inventory. With the development of the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba as a regional centre for the visual arts, the Arts West Council has refocused its activities to sponsoring the following major programs annually: the Westman Juried Art Show, the Travelling Gallery and the Artists' Retreat.

Land Acknowledgement
We respectfully acknowledge the Westman Region of Manitoba is located on Treaty 1 and Treaty 2 lands, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, also the homeland of the Métis Nation. We honor the history, culture, and enduring connection of these Indigenous Peoples to this land and their ongoing contributions to our community. Acknowledging this history is a crucial step in understanding the region's past and present, and in working towards reconciliation.
