City of Prince Albert and Mann Art Gallery Launch Pilot Education Partnership
The City of Prince Albert and the Mann Art Gallery have partnered to launch a one-year pilot initiative that will expand arts education opportunities and enhance community programming in Prince Albert.
Through this partnership, the Mann Art Gallery’s Manager of Education Programs will be based at the Margo Fournier Arts Centre on select days, offering new daytime programs in pottery, screen printing, textiles, and art history. This collaboration maximizes use of community spaces and specialized equipment while building on the longstanding relationship between the two organizations.
Programs will begin in December 2025, with both registered and drop-in options available for schools, groups, and the public.
Most spaces are available for public rentals for workshops, meetings, rehearsals, community events, and creative use. Several local arts groups and guilds also operate within the Centre, some with designated rooms, contributing to a lively and collaborative artistic environment. Common Weal Community Arts also maintains an office on site on the second floor.
