ACI is a gateway into the Arts and Cultural sector offering information, education, and skill development. Use ACI as a resource to build a solid base of knowledge, experience and contacts that will lead you to a career in the sector.

The Arts and Cultural Industries Association of Manitoba Inc. (ACI) is Manitoba’s sector council for culture.

ACI is an umbrella organization created to serve all arts and cultural workers in Manitoba, wherever they live in the province, whatever their background and whatever kind of creative work they do.

We are not an arm of the government. ACI is an independent, not-for-profit organization.

We do, however, receive support from government to serve the training and human resource needs of the cultural workforce. ACI is also supported through membership fees, registration fees, partnerships, donations and sponsorships.
