À propos

What does Reconciliation and Decolonizing mean for museums? For MCML it includes (but certainly isn’t limited to) actively working to diversify our museum collection to better reflect the community. In 2023 we launched a fundraising drive to purchase work by artists from under-represented communities. Using these funds, MCML purchased works by ten artists, which are now on display at the C2 Centre for Craft.

Artists: Adriana Alarcón, PJ Anderson, Tashina Houle-Schlup, Takashi Iwasaki, Naila Janzen, Erin Konsmo, Candace Lipischak, Paul Robles, Fred Spence, Lin Xu

Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library

Dedicated to preserving the heritage, teaching the student, inspiring the artist, and promoting a way of life that values the handmade, the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library has its origins in the early years of the Crafts Guild of Manitoba. The Guild was formed in 1928 as a branch of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild, and in 1933 that group established both a Permanent Collection and Library.

Over the years, volunteers worked to develop the collection, create exhibits, establish and deliver programming, and to care for the collection according to museum standards.
