Hello everyone!
These past two weeks, MCSD-DAM has been busy writing more grants to meet the deadlines by the art funders to bring more shows to the Manitoba Deaf Community.

We also have been writing up final reports for the last two projects to get this funding as we have to complete these final reports before we can apply for more funding.

We appreciate everyone's patience for waiting to see the rest of the photos from the 2026 Magic of ASL!
