2023 Summer Tours
Get outside and explore our city through public art… Free walking, cycling and bus tours are back!
Join the Winnipeg arts Council on a tour this summer and learn about the artwork you pass by every day… What is it made of? Why is it there? What does it mean? Some works are fun, colourful, and interactive, and some encourage quiet contemplation. Join us on an informative excursion and get to know the artwork that punctuates and brightens our city!
