Video Pool Media Arts Centre
Video Pool Media Arts Centre aims to inspire curiosity and creative expression through open exploration of technology in all media art forms, focusing on practices that are adventurous, independent, and explore niche approaches to art and technology. We strive to cultivate experimental artistic practices and accessibility to technology through presentation, production, distribution and education while also supporting the greater arts community through our programs, facilities and expertise.
VP houses the largest collection of prairie video art in Canada, presents work at the intersection of technology and art in our Poolside Gallery, and The Output, our A/V performance and rehearsal venue, provides new opportunities for performance-based work.
VP is Manitoba’s only artist-run centre dedicated to the exploration of technology-based art.
