Gimli has diverse cultural roots beginning with the First Nations people,
and growing with the arrival of Icelandic and Ukrainian settlers into the area. 
Our cultural collage welcomes new additions every year and embraces new influences as our community grows.

Prairie Ocean Centre of the Arts also has an international component with Iceland.

OUR LOCATION

Prairie Ocean Centre for the Arts is to be found on a scenic journey only one hour North of Winnipeg.

Gimli is situated in the heart of the prairies, on the historic shores of Lake Winnipeg. Our picturesque environment encourages creative thoughts and cultivates a unique sensibility in the making of Art.
