The Crescent Arts Centre supports emerging and established artists and seeks innovation in performance, partnerships and its projects.  
​

CAC coordinates bookings and events at 525 Wardlaw Avenue, Winnipeg.  The orgnaization has a history of arts programming for seniors and also helps to coordinate the programs for the Arts Inclusion network which is programs for adults with intellectual disabilities.
​

CAC has been blessed with New Horizons funding to deliver programs satisfying the requests of the senior’s community for engaging events and activities.  More than that!  Seniors want inter-generational activities. To quote one regular attender, “Why would I want to hang around with just seniors?”  Point taken!

CAC has also been the grateful beneficiary of funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, Assiniboine Credit Union, Payworks, the Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba, the City of Winnipeg  and private donations to support the highly valued Arts Inclusion network programs and annual symposium/festival.

A sample of our community work - The Stories to Songs Project 

We have been funded  to create professional paid opportunities for musician-songwriters to write a song, each song as inspired from the storytelling of individual seniors ideally in care facilities. (one song for each senior) Together their work is celebrated in a final performance.  Of course pandemic restrictions altered the project's in-person element but did produce a series of YouTube performances and stories.  You can hear and see a sample of this project.  Thanks to Jaxon Haldane, Howard Swan and Ajax for kicking this project off!

CAC gratefully acknowledges its funders and supporters to community programming.
​We acknowledge and respect that we are on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, and Dakota nations, and the homeland of the Metis people. Long before adventurers, colonizers, settlers, refugees, or immigrants from other lands came to this territory, the people of Canada’s first nations held this land as a sacred trust from the Creator. We acknowledge this stewardship of the land, and our treaty commitment to ensure that we work together to provide a sacred place of welcome for all.
