The Federal Election, Arts & Culture and You.
Manitobans for the Arts urges all Manitobans to recognize the importance of the Arts and Culture when they go to vote in the upcoming Federal Election.
To support this, we direct you to The Canadian Arts Coalition’s ArtsVote 2025 site (LINK HERE), which includes home election kits and social media tools to promote the importance of arts and culture, along with questions that you can ask your candidate regarding their position on this topic.
By engaging in this year’s federal election, you can ensure that the role of arts in our communities is part of the national conversation.
The Canadian Arts Coalition represents thousands of cultural workers and artists from across Canada. It asks all parties to commit to allocating a minimum of one percent of the annual federal budget to arts and culture - an increase of only 0.06% from current levels. This would include increases to the Canada Council for the Arts and The Department of Canadian Heritage.
