Presented by Manitobans for the Arts, this event will feature a key-note presentation by Kelly Hill from Hill Strategies / StatsInSights.  

This half day event will explore key insights into the Manitoba Arts and Culture Sector and the story the data tells about Arts and Culture in Manitoba - how Manitoba compares to other provinces and internationally, and the narratives that emerge from this data.

Building on this data, we will further discuss how decision makers and politicians might interpret this data and the best practices for using this data to craft an effective advocacy narrative.

Don't miss this unique opportunity for inspiring conversations and new pathways for the arts while connecting with like-minded individuals passionate about Manitoba's arts and culture sector.
