Plug In, Unit 1 - 460 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 0E8
Spaces must be reserved by calling during gallery hours: 1 (204) 942-1043 or email 

Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is pleased to present Hospital Hallway, a performance by award-winning, Winnipeg-based artist Sarah Anne Johnson. 

Hospital Hallway is a continuation of themes explored in Johnson’s immersive installation House on Fire and performance Dancing with The Doctor, drawing on her grandmother’s experience as an unwitting participant in the infamous MK-ULTRA mind-controlling drug experiments of the 1950s ultimately linked to the CIA.
The artist has designed an elaborate enclosed set that positions audiences above her, circling the stage like theatre-in-the-round. Johnson takes the role of her grandmother as a patient pushed into a nightmarish ‘treatment’. 
Hospital Hallway encompasses a larger video and installation project.

First Fridays THROB OFF!  Game & Photo Exhibit + Character performances
Time: 5-9pm
Large classroom, 400-245 McDermot Ave, Winnipeg
Free

Throb Off!, created by Sarah London and Solmund MacPherson, is a satirical take on the hit 80s board game Heartthrob. It was created for Rowan Sparling’s 18th birthday, and was a smash hit. It was revitalized when the character portraits featured in the game caught Thomas Sparling’s eye, prompting the proposal of a photo show. 
That idea grew until it became what it is today, with select portraits taken by Solmund MacPherson being put on display alongside performances by some of the beautiful people featured in the game, copies of which will also be available to play or purchase. 
Dress up in your finest 80s attire and be prepared to have a good time. 
See the photos, meet the characters, and play the game.

April 2, Doors 7 / Show 8 PM - 11:30 PM
The Park Theatre, 698 Osborne Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3L 2B9
Tickets $20 in advance at The Park Theatre, Music Trader and online 

We’ve had the pleasure of having The Zolas in the room a couple times before, and it’s always a great time. Joining them will be Toronto's Fast Romantics. 

Anyone who caught on to the slow-burn success of 2012’s desolately hook-laden Ancient Mars could sense that something in The Zolas was threatening to bubble over.
Original members Tom Dobrzanski and Zach Gray have been joined by another longtime duo Cody Hiles and DJ Abell and this is the first album they’ve completely self-produced. The band dove headlong into vibrant, experimental pop, stirring modern production into the influences that surrounded them as kids growing up in the ‘90s.

Operation Red Nose l Syrian Refugees l Wpg Storytelling l Current Swell l Farmers Market l Songs for a Winter Night l Winnipeg Model Railroad Club: Klinic Karnaval l MEMETIC l Half Moon Run l Scott Nolan l Locals Only l Sessionistas

Operation Red Nose operates across Canada during the Christmas holiday season, offering party-goers a free, safe ride home. Volunteers pick you up and drive to a destination of your choice, in your own car.
The service, which runs November 27 to New Year's Day, is free but donations are accepted and forwarded to local community organizations.

Last year, over $1.5 million was redistributed to non-profit youth organizations and/or amateur sports organizations across the country.

Those in Winnipeg who want the service can call 204-947-6673 (NOSE).

Found this article in The Star interesting:

By: Marina Jimenez Foreign Affairs Writer, Published on Wed Nov 18 2015

Canada’s refugees will not come from the hundreds of thousands of displaced people streaming into Europe. They will most likely come from Jordan, Turkey or Lebanon, where almost all have been registered by the UNHCR.

The article also included the following…

Government-sponsored refugees normally go through three levels of screening:

Registering with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees:
Tell their story of how they escaped and why
Confirm their identity through documents, biometric security screening, iris scanning
Be registered in an automated and interconnected system
Red flag any cases of war crimes or criminality

UNHCR re-settlement list
Triage refugees and select 1 per cent who could be resettled
Interview candidates again
Give priority to the vulnerable, those with medical problems, single mothers and children
Single young men unlikely to make the cut

Interview with Canadian visa officers
One-on-one interviews with visa officers in the Middle East
Confirm story again
Run names through data bases of Canadian Border Services Agency, Canadian Security Intelligence Service and RCMP

The Winnipeg Folk Festival brings the Current Swell back after their performances at Folk Fest this summer. 
Come and move to the grooves of an accidental band, a bunch of friends who liked to chil, get into a roots-rock mood and jam. In 2005 they didn’t plan to tour the world, to release five albums, or accumulate an army of fans. They definitely didn’t expect to wind up opening for The Beach Boys or Cat Empire. But there was a magic in their union that’s best heard on 2014’s Ulysses.

The Park Theatre is proud to present Half Moon Run with Folly & The Hunter! 
When Half Moon Run formed in Montreal in 2009, multi-instrumentalists Devon Portielje, Conner Molander and Dylan Phillips abandoned every backup plan. For the three founding members, and for fellow multi-instrumentalist Isaac Symonds, who joined the band during the early touring for Dark Eyes, it materialized after months of creative frustration.

Scott Nolan 'Silverhill' Album Release Party
Silverhill is a place where “moonshiners still bootleg whisky” from 106 year old recipes; a place where they don’t call the cops, and fire wood is hewn by hand.
“Every so often you’re in these moments where there’s so much happening,” Nolan recalls.

The Winnipeg Folk Festival is thrilled to present Chad Vangaalen.
In 2011, he wanted to score a science fiction film, so he started making one. The first episode of his animated feature, Translated Log of Inhabitants, should be released this year.  Shrink Dust, his fifth full-length album is, in Chad’s view, a country record.

September 30
Orange Shirt Day to Support Residential School Students 

Orange Shirt Day is meant to recognize the harm that was done to residential school students and to show a commitment to the principle that every child matters. 
Event organizers are asking people across North America to wear an orange shirt on September 30 as a way of supporting Residential School Survivors.

Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, BC, Canada, in the spring of 2013.
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year.
Orange Shirt Day is also an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.
