Thumbs up to local artists for generously donating their art for a silent auction at the recent launch of ArtsForward. The art club has their art on display for the month of May. Most people would likely be surprised to see how many talented artists call the Neepawa area their home. The VCC recently went through an exercise to look at rebranding and instead of being the Viscount Cultural Centre for the Arts, they will be known as ArtsForward.
