Art Borups Corners

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.

Planting Sage This week, we planted sage in our community garden—a small act with deep roots. Known for its medicinal, culinary, and ceremonial uses, sage has long been a symbol of wisdom and renewal.

What Silence Says While the world moves forward digitally, many Canadian nonprofits are being left behind. The quiet struggle isn’t just about outdated websites—it’s about lacking the tools, training, and funding to keep up. For more than half of nonprofits, the gap between what’s needed and what’s possible is growing. Sometimes, standing still feels like falling behind.
