Annual · Magna Library
Each year the Arts Council hosts a seminar focused on a different art discipline — from music and film to visual arts and community design.
The seminar features a panel of local and regional experts, educational presentations, community outreach, and an open Q&A session.
The seminar is designed to deepen community appreciation for the arts and connect Magna residents with working artists.
