50/50 Raffle Supporting Community Programming
Tickets on sale Jan 14th-May 25th, draw May 27th (by a very fair, randomizing robot).
Tickets sold online only, through Rafflebox
The 50/50 Raffle supports WECC community programming like The Tune-In Music Program. Tune In has been an integral part of the West End Cultural Centre for almost as long as the WECC has been around. We offer free music instruction on the guitar, bass, drums, voice, and songwriting for youth ages 8-18, in partnership with the Manitoba Conservatory of Music and Art. Tune In is one of the ways The WECC supports our neighbourhood, and young artists at the very start of their careers.
Funds raised go towards instruments, instrument repairs, and consumables like strings, reeds, rosin and the like.
The WECC Art Wall
The West End Cultural Centre (WECC) is excited to launch the WECC Art Wall, a new program showing the work of emerging artists from Winnipeg and Manitoba. This transforms the WECC lobby into a community space where concertgoers and visitors can experience local art up close. Artwork may be sold directly by the artist, and WECC takes no commission. Please note that WECC does not provide insurance and is not responsible for loss or damage to artwork.
Artists interested in exhibiting can apply through our online form: WECC Art Wall Submission Form. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and selected artists will be contacted to confirm dates. Each exhibition includes an optional Art Opening / Artist Talk night in the WECC lobby with bar service and community access.
