Arts Incubator Winnipeg

The Arts Incubator Winnipeg is a community-based arts organization and network of artists, cultural workers, and researchers working across Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Northwestern Ontario. We support artists, youth, and community partners through media arts programs, digital storytelling workshops, creative research, and public programming.

Our work focuses on accessible arts participation, digital literacy, and community-based storytelling. Originally seeded through the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse program, we explore how digital media and emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence—can support artists, strengthen community connections, and create new opportunities for learning and collaboration.

Community-Based Arts Programs in
Winnipeg and Northwestern Ontario

Our Winnipeg hub operates through a flexible network of virtual and in-person spaces, allowing us to deliver media arts workshops, community storytelling projects, digital skills training, and collaborative research initiatives across Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario.

We work with artists, youth, Indigenous communities, and partner organizations to create accessible opportunities for creative practice, cultural exchange, and community-based learning. Through these partnerships, Arts Incubator Winnipeg supports local arts projects while contributing to broader conversations about arts, culture, technology, and community resilience.

Our programs evolve in response to community needs, new partnerships, and emerging ideas—creating space for experimentation, creative collaboration, and ongoing learning in both urban and northern communities.

No two seasons at Arts Incubator Winnipeg are exactly the same. As new artists, ideas, partnerships, and community needs emerge, our projects continue to evolve—creating space for experimentation, learning, and unexpected creative collaborations.
