MayWorks (Winnipeg)

MAYWORKS (Winnipeg) is a festival held throughout the month of May to honour and promote the many positive contributions of unions and working people in general. Inspired by events surrounding the anniversary of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike, MAYWORKS focuses on the art produced both by artists, with their depiction of the working class life and by workers with their own interpretation of their lives and struggles.

Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts (Toronto)

Founded in 1986 by the Labour Arts Media Committee of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council, Mayworks is Canada's largest and oldest labour arts festival. The Festival was built on the premise that workers and artists share a common struggle for decent wages, healthy working conditions and a living culture. Mayworks' goal is to promote the interests of cultural workers and trade unionists, and to bring working-class culture from the margins of cultural activity onto centre stage.
