The Online News Act won't allow us to post this article, but we wanted you to know there is an article on the CTV Winnipeg news page about the catastrophic water pipe break at Artspace.

It has been a rough few weeks for everyone at Artspace, ourselves included. Our hearts go out to The WFG, Cinematheque, the galleries that can't operate, the orgs that have had to cancel classes, rehearsals, due to the lack of facilities. We hope that we can rebound from this as a community and bring our home back to life.

We love you, Artspace. ❤

We all just want to get back to work in the building that we love so much. Hopefully funds can be raised or found in order to keep our building going.
