New & Upcoming:
Video Pool Media Arts Centre is pleased to announce our first Media Art + Technology Residency of 2025 (MATR25) in partnership with TakeHome BIPOC ArtHouse.
The Media Art and Technology Residency (MATR) is designed to be a site-specific exploration of VP’s Poolside Gallery and its environs, where artists will develop and install a new work that responds to and utilizes the gallery’s characteristics. MATR specifically supports experimental, independent technology-based works and we welcome submissions that respond to the annual theme.
The potential for something truly extraordinary is here.
Mission Statement
Video Pool Media Arts Centre aims to inspire curiosity and creative expression through open exploration of technology in all media art forms, focusing on practices that are adventurous, independent, and explore niche approaches to art and technology. We strive to cultivate experimental artistic practices and accessibility to technology through presentation, production, distribution and education while also supporting the greater arts community through our programs, facilities and expertise.
VP houses the largest collection of prairie video art in Canada, presents work at the intersection of technology and art in our Poolside Gallery, and The Output, our A/V performance and rehearsal venue, provides new opportunities for performance-based work.
VP is Manitoba’s only artist-run centre dedicated to the exploration of technology-based art.
We are located on Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
