Hello everyone,
As part of our lead-up to Brain Awareness Week, I’m pleased to announce that Neurocraft will be returning to Winnipeg this March. The exhibition will be on display at the new C2 Centre for Craft from March 2nd to 31st.
The MNN, together with the Manitoba Craft Council and the University of Manitoba, will be hosting an opening reception on Friday, March 2nd from 5-9 pm. You and your families are cordially invited to attend (if you’re going to the Jets game, drop by on your way to the rink!). Opening remarks will be at 7 pm, followed by wine and cheese. The C2 Centre for Craft is located at 329 Cumberland Avenue in downtown Winnipeg and there is plenty of parking in the area. In addition to the Neurocraft show, you will also have the opportunity to view the collection of the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library and visit the new retail shop that is located in the C2 Centre.
If you missed the show last year, here is your chance to see it now. And if you did see it last year, there will be several new pieces on display so I hope that you will come out to see it again. The gallery will be open Wednesday to Saturday from 12 to 4 pm.
For all you parents out there, we are also planning a children’s craft workshop that will be held at the C2 Centre on March 28th (during March break). I will be sending out more information about that, and our full schedule of Brain Awareness Week events in the next couple of weeks.
As always, thank you for your support of the MNN and our outreach programs.
Best wishes, Sari
