Supporting local businesses like FoodFare not only guarantees high-quality products but also strengthens community ties. FoodFare’s dedication to events like the sākihiwē Festival shows the impact that local businesses can have on community events.

The sākihiwē Festival Turtle Island Block Party was a fantastic event celebrating community and culture. FoodFare’s Special Events BBQ was a big hit, providing attendees with hundreds of grilled hotdogs that perfectly complemented the lively atmosphere.

The collaboration seen at the sākihiwē Festival Turtle Island Block Party exemplified how companies, organizations, and events can unite to strengthen community ties through food and relationship building. When businesses step up to support local events, they help create a welcoming atmosphere that fosters unity and celebrates cultural diversity. Such partnerships highlight the values of community engagement, dignity and mutual support, demonstrating that local enterprises can play a pivotal role in enhancing communal experiences. This serves as an inspiring model for other organizations to contribute meaningfully to their communities, showing that the act of coming together over food can create lasting bonds.

“When local businesses step up to support community events, they help create a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere,” said Winnipeg-based artist and digital media mentor Jamie Bell. “FoodFare’s BBQ at the sākihiwē Festival is a perfect example of how community engagement and local business collaboration can enhance the communal experience and celebrate cultural diversity.”

Support Local!

A big thanks to FoodFare and the Zeid family for their commitment to supporting community involvement by supporting this important community event. For more information on their Special Events BBQ, visit their web site at: https://foodfare.com/index.php/our-services/

The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg is a participatory arts collective and living lab, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. It's a space where innovation and creativity thrive. It's latest iteration was launched in 2021 with funding and support from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse. Today, working with students and faculty from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, we fuse traditional and participatory media arts with artificial intelligence, music, storytelling and community-driven, land-based artist residencies to cultivate new voices and bold ideas. Whether through collaborative projects or immersive experiences, our small but vibrant community supports creators to explore, experiment, and connect. Join us at the intersection of artistry, technology, culture and community—where every moment is a new opportunity to create.

Dew Code

Jamie Bell April 23, 2025
Fog doesn’t erase, it distills. What remains in the hush is not absence, but a pause between stories. Trees lean like breathless witnesses, caught in the act of remembering. This isn’t mystery—it’s a threshold. You aren’t lost here; you’re being rewritten.
