It was an exciting 2018 for the William Glesby Centre in Portage la Prairie.

That's from Board Chair Jeff Dubois, who says things mainly went as they hoped.

"Our plan this year was to bring in some different acts, to get some new people in our doors," he says, "And I think we achieved that. We brought lots of artists, and shows, and performances to get new people in the door, and we were very pleased with all the people who have supported the Glesby centre over the year."

Dubois's especially pleased with their close working relationship with the Portage and District Arts Centre in 2018.

"We've been working very closely with the Portage and District Arts Centre," he says, "That has really benefited the Glesby Centre, and has really improved our resources, and have brought in a variety of shows with their help also."

Some time early in 2019, the Glesby Centre and Arts Centre will amalgamate into a single entity.
