Where to Find Us

For thousands of years people have gathered at the meeting point of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. The Nakoda, the Anishinaabe, the Cree and the Sioux all met and lived at this intersection of history’s river highways. Nearly 300 years ago European fur traders first established a presence here, followed by early settlers hoping to eek out a livelihood on the unforgiving prairies. But eek it out they did, and eventually rail lines followed the ox carts and Winnipeg was established as a main trading center of the time. In 1938, the National Cartage Building was built, a place that we now know as the Johnston Terminal, the proud new home of cARTizan studios. Come experience a touch of history and create art with us on the main floor, just behind the center staircase.
