As ArtBridges’ Community-Engaged Arts Directory grows, we realize that it’s a bit overwhelming to read through all of the profiles. We’re hoping that by occasionally highlighting some profiles on our blog, you may learn about an initiative that you may not have initially seen in the directory. Also, if you know of a Canadian community-engaged arts for social change initiative that isn’t in our directory, but should be, please let us know! We love and need your input/feedback in building this resource! -Lisa, Content Coordinator at Artbridges.

« Sarasvàti Productions is experimental and transformative theatre that presents significant social issues; engages in community collaboration; and supports emerging artists. We are an independent theatre company that has been in existence since 1998, in the North End of Winnipeg since 2000, and a registered charity since 2003. We produce FemFest (an annual festival of plays by women for everyone currently approaching its 14th year), a wide range of plays that address topical issues, community tours, and workshops to support emerging artists. »
