Donations & Fundraising

VP really appreciates your generous donations to our GENERAL FUND, where we put your generosity to work where it is most needed each year. To donate to where VP needs funds the most, just use the form below and choose Option 1.

Every donation supports a wide range of Manitoba technology-based arts practices and programs on a local, national and international scale, including:

• Video art creation, presentation and dissemination
• Audio art production, design and post-production
• Electronic art, digital art, immersive art and design
• Access to technology, facilities and expertise for all Manitobans
• Arts Advocacy
• and so much more!

We strive to ensure every media artist has access to the means of creativity through access to equipment, facilities, education programs, events, exhibitions and distribution. Your donation, whether $5, or $500, will go a long way to ensuring Manitoba artists remain one of the most active and successful in the country.

We accept donations in person, by mail or just fill out the secure form below!

Celebrating FORTY YEARS is a milestone that owes all kinds of gratitude to a whole lot of people, and we'd LOVE to have your support to make it a year to remember!

Your DONATION will directly support the anniversary programs throughout the year, especially focusing on our two events in September 2023 and January 2024!  Like a big family reunion, we hope to see a lot of VP history represented, and we could really use your help to make it happen!
