November 19, 2010 MARCELINO ACKNOWLEDGES TALENT OF MANITOBA ARTISTS– – –Province Announces $250,000 in Funding to Support National Arts Centre's Prairie Scene Festival Culture, Heritage and Tourism Minister Flor Marcelino today announced funding of $250,000 to support Prairie Scene, a two-week festival in the nation’s capital that will showcase Manitoba artists from April 26 to May 7, 2011. “There are many talented artists located throughout Manitoba and I am certain the group chosen to represent Manitoba at the festival will do the province proud,” said Marcelino. “Support for Prairie Scene reflects our government’s ongoing commitment to the many artists living in Manitoba and our desire to provide opportunities for them.” Prairie Scene is the latest in a series of festivals produced by the National Arts Centre. The festival will embrace the diversity of the arts and culture in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The festival will feature a comprehensive mix of theatre, dance, music, visual arts, film, literature and culinary arts. The National Arts Centre began the festival in 2003 with the Atlantic Scene, then the Alberta Scene in 2005, Quebec Scene in 2007, B.C. Scene in 2009, and now the stage will be set for the prairies. The National Arts Centre will present 80 different events over the 13-day festival in multiple venues across Ottawa. Part of the goal is to propel the careers of young artists by introducing them to a group of well-known presenters. The $250,000 in provincial funding will offset the fees, travel costs and expenses associated with the participation of Manitoba artists and arts organizations. “By supporting Prairie Scene we are enhancing Manitoba artists’ opportunities for exposure, both nationally and internationally,” said Marcelino. “Everyone who attends the Prairie Scene will get a taste of the special talents Manitobans have come to enjoy. I am sure all the artists who participate will be great Manitoba ambassadors on the national stage.” - 30 - |
