This Year’s Theme: ‘Truth, Beauty and Wonder in Troubled Times’

Call to Artists! 

Artist Application Deadline: May 01, 2026

‘In times of uncertainty, art becomes a powerful lens through which we rediscover what is true, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. This year’s theme–Finding Truth, Beauty and Wonder in Troubled Times—invites artists to reflect on the resilience of the human spirit, the quiet grace in everyday moments, and the sparks of hope that illuminate even the darkest paths. Whether through bold expression or subtle nuance, we welcome works that challenge, uplift, and remind us that wonder is not lost—it is waiting to be seen, felt, and shared.’

We look forward, as always, to the thoughtfulness you continue to bring, to our themes, through your art.

Winnipeg, Manitoba is a vibrant arts community and Crescent Fort Rouge reflects its community well. That’s why we decided to have an arts festival. 

We believe that the arts are an ideal way to help us see new things, reflect and honour the diversity in which we believe, and to welcome community into our beautiful building.
