The Manitoba Holiday Festival of the Arts owes its beginning to Gissur Eliasson of the School of Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba. He recognized a lack of Art opportunities available for the creative individual and started a “Painting in the Park” program . With the help of the Neepawa Chamber of Commerce, the Neepawa Fine Arts Festival, Neepawa Collegiate Institute Staff and others, the foundations of the Festival were laid. The Festival has grown to include the literary and performing arts as well as various crafts. Canteen will be available during the week in the HMK lunchroom, provided by Shop Easy Grocery. Menu and prices will be available closer to the festival dates. Come out for the festival BBQ on Wednesday evening, July 9, for food, games and fun!

We will be exploring the theme that life is like a book and each story is unique. Discover exciting things about yourself as we travel through books to explore new worlds as well as our own. We will discover what makes each of our stories special while creating artistic responses to high quality literature. Each day all age groups will be able to express something interesting about themselves using a variety of everyday materials that they will turn into keepsakes to hold on to for a lifetime! Cheryl Beaumont Everyone has basic needs. Everyone self regulates throughout the day to feel just right (not too excited and not too lethargic). By meeting our needs we can feel attentive and focused. Let’s learn the art of knowing ourselves through creating, drawing, science experiments, enjoying nature and yoga stretches.
