Forum Art Institute was established in 1964 to provide educational and cultural enrichment for the art community in Manitoba.
It was founded by two artists/university instructors Nikola Bjelajac & Steve Repa. They worked diligently to create a non-credit art organization with instruction available to anyone willing to learn. After Steve passed away Nik remained as a very active influence & educator at the Forum Art until 2006 when he passed away in his 86th year. Their inspiration & dedication in making art education an important part of our art community continues at the Forum Art Centre.
We have grown over the years and changed facilities 8 times in locations throughout the city of Winnipeg & currently lease an old city library building built in 1961 from the City of Winnipeg.
