The Forum Art Centre (Institute) endeavours to develop and encourage art appreciation and artistic enlightenment in our community.
Forum Art Institute was established in 1964 to provide educational and cultural enrichment for the art community in Manitoba.
It was founded by two artists/university instructors Nikola Bjelajac & Steve Repa. They worked diligently to create a non-credit art organization with instruction available to anyone willing to learn. After Steve passed away Nik remained as a very active influence & educator at the Forum Art until 2006 when he passed away in his 86th year. Their inspiration & dedication in making art education an important part of our art community continues at the Forum Art Centre.
We have grown over the years and changed facilities 8 times in locations throughout the city of Winnipeg & currently lease an old city library building built in 1961 from the City of Winnipeg.
