Mandate: To close gaps and foster stronger relationships within the performing arts.

Mission: To empower artists and to enrich the ecology of live performance.

Art Holm is a performance series in Winnipeg that showcases dance, theatre, and music in one evening. Funded by Winnipeg Arts Council, Manitoba Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts, Art Holm has presented 27 Winnipeg-based performing artists, two National artists, and five International artists, at established institutions like Prairie Theatre Exchange, The West End Cultural Centre, Winnipeg Film Group, Théâtre Cercle Molière, and The Manitoba Museum. We invite local BIPOC curators to select artists from their communities and our team of technicians, designers and promotion personnel are BIPOC and/or 2SLGBTQIA+. We look to strengthen performance opportunities, while bridging gaps and fostering new relationships between the different arts niches in Winnipeg, and we strive to be a leader in our community. Founded in 2017 by dancers Alex Elliott and Hilary Crist, Art Holm has remained committed to supporting the artist's work while maintaining a safer space and positive working environment for the arts workers.
