Every day I
get to work, I know I’m opening doors to more than just a building. For more than 40 years, The Steinbach Arts
Council has been opening doors of opportunity and unlocking potential in kids
and adults from across the region. In
fact, the Steinbach Arts Council opened their door to me over 25 years
ago.
Right now, the world is opening its doors again, after two years of being closed due to the pandemic. As a result, I’m lucky to say that I have recently been able to watch my kids participate in life again. I watched my daughter play basketball and perform live with a choir, all in the same week. It amazed me how her team moved together across the court, how they watched for each other, supported each other, and tried their hardest, for each other. I was also blown away at how her choir moved together, listened to each other, and supported each other as they sang. Both teams worked hard, showing me, as a parent, that the skills our kids are learning are the same in both activities.

That means the Arts4Tots Preschool Programs will still be welcoming your kids in class this coming Monday! We look forward to teaching your kids for the rest of the year.

/in The Whole Human /by Angelica San JuanWellness is certainly a popular topic in society today – after two years of restrictions, limitations, and disappointments, it seems that everyone is very aware of their need to invest in themselves.

/in The Whole Human /by Angelica San JuanIt’s all about wellness and The Steinbach Arts Council is singing this tune! I was privileged to be part of the founding group who created the Steinbach Cultural Arts Centre in 1996. The Steinbach Arts Council had existed since 1979 as a group who presented concerts, and awarded funding to local artists and arts groups who were scattered around the community in schools, churches and homes.

/in The Whole Human /by Tara SchellenbergLast week, David had the opportunity to chat with Mike Janzen, who will be performing in our first live concert in over two years next Tuesday, April 5th. Mike calls Steinbach his hometown, and has had a successful career working and performing across Canada. The best musicians surround themselves with other talented musicians, which is how Mike has found himself collaborating with the likes of Steve Bell and Sarah Slean, and commissioning works for the CBC and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
