The Arts Council is a non-profit organization
aiding in programming functions according to the needs of the
community, and searching for and acting as a registry for
potential local talent, aiding in its development and recognition.

Carberry Plains Arts Council serves the Carberry, Brookdale,
Wellwood and the Rural Municipality of North Cypress.

all
ages.
The Arts Council also takes pride in providing quality
performances, including music, comedy and drama, for the community

The
annual Harvest of Hobbies &
Trade Show
is held the last Saturday in August each year. The Carberry
Community Centre is filled with on average 70 exhibitors displaying everything from crafts and artwork as
