Michelle Chawla, CEO and Director of the Canada Council for the Arts and Jamie Bell connect at the Urban Shaman Contemporary Indigenous Art Gallery in Winnipeg.

This week, Jamie Bell and Michelle Chawla, Director and CEO of the Canada Council for the Arts, connected at the Urban Shaman Contemporary Indigenous Art Gallery in Winnipeg during a series of dynamic arts dialogues hosted by the Manitoba Arts Council. The gathering brought together artists, curators, and community leaders to explore the evolving role of Indigenous-led spaces in shaping Canada’s cultural future. Their meeting underscored the importance of centering Indigenous voices and amplifying community-based arts leadership across the country.

Our team was proud to contribute to this important moment through a program supported by the Canada Council for the Arts’ Digital Greenhouse initiative. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to take part in these meaningful conversations and express our ongoing support for community-driven arts and digital innovation. A special thank you to the Manitoba Arts Council for making this opportunity possible.

About the Author

Art Borups Corners

Art Borups Corners

Administrator

Art Borups Corners is a dynamic participatory arts collective and living lab, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. It's a space where innovation and creativity thrive. The program was founded in 2014, with its arts incubator established in 2021 and 2022 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.
