Mid-West Art Council
"Art and culture are important to the development and vitality of a
community. In a grassroots fashion, the Council promotes the development
of art and culture for citizens of all ages within the Midwest
Recreation District. To this end, the Council provides a forum for art
exhibitions, performances, dance, music, as well as other activities
which encourage individual self-expression."
The Mid-West Arts Council follows the same geographical area as the
Midwest Recreation District - the R.M. of Hamiota, the Town of Hamiota,
the R.M. of Miniota, the R.M. OF Woodworth, and the R.M. of Blanshard.
Art and culture are important to the survival and vitality of our
community. In a grassroots fashion, the Council promotes the development
of art and culture for citizens of all ages within the area. To this
end, the council provides a forum for art exhibitions, performances,
adult and Children workshops/classes as well as other activities, which
encourage individual self-expression. Past programs include events such
as the Strathclair Theatre Chorus, Stained Glass classes, quilting,
Paper Making and Jewelry Making. The variety of programs and activities
provide residents of all ages with first hand experience in the arts.
