Growing a Community of Care and Practice for the arts
Art Borups Corners and the Winnipeg, Manitoba-based Incubator for Digital Arts and Creative Entrepreneurship support a cutting-edge and grassroots creative nexus that champions digital innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and transformative cross-sectoral community capacity building.
Operating from our vibrant Winnipeg hub, we empower visionary creators and tech-driven artists to experiment boldly and reimagine media arts through dynamic residencies, immersive workshops, and collaborative projects. Harnessing state-of-the-art technology and fostering a robust creative ecosystem, we bridge traditional artistic practices with digital entrepreneurship, fueling breakthrough ideas that inspire, engage, and elevate communities.
Each session features a different theme. Programs serve as dynamic launchpads for participatory, arts and research experiences that span Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, Nunavut, and Minnesota. We cultivate an inclusive environment where storytelling, music, digital design, food security and interactive media converge to redefine the boundaries of creative expression.
