The Mennonite Heritage Centre Gallery’s community gallery is filled with watercolours depicting 500 years of Anabaptist history these days – a history containing celebration and innovation alongside hardship and persecution. 

Radical Roots is the work of artist and professor Gareth Brandt, who has travelled to many of the prominent sites of the Anabaptist movement, from the rivers of the “third baptisms” of early leaders like Felix Manz to the gate of Nuremburg, a significant centre for reformers in the early 16th century. 

Artists from a wide variety of mediums descend on the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity to gain new skills in their chosen field. Those skills extend far beyond the spotlight to the backstage roles, including lighting, sound, and, in the case of Steinbach's Lauren Peters, wardrobe. 

The next generation of Manitoba musicians will be descending on Portage la Prairie this weekend for the Provincial Music and Arts Festival, the first of two that will take place in the province this month.
