Arts Incubator Winnipeg

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.
Seeds are starting to sprout, and being placed into soil for planting this spring. These hopeful sprouts represent the beginning of a community-led effort to revitalize apple growing in Northwestern Ontario.

A groundbreaking virtual gallery, supported by the OpenAI Researcher Access Program, is offering Indigenous youth in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a unique opportunity to engage with the latest in digital arts and technology. This initiative is fueled by a partnership with the Manitoba Arts Council and is centered around participatory media arts, empowering young creators with hands-on experiences in game design, virtual galleries, AI image generation, prompt engineering, and coding. The gallery serves as a platform for cultivating critical digital arts literacy, encouraging the exploration of interactive media, curation, and AI technologies. By integrating gamification principles, this program helps foster a deep understanding of how digital tools can be used for artistic expression. Through this innovative approach, youth are not only learning technical skills but also gaining the confidence to curate their own digital artworks and experiences. In collaboration with Google News and other digital platforms, the project showcases how Indigenous youth are using cutting-edge technologies to enhance their creativity and expand their artistic horizons. By offering access to the OpenAI Researcher Access Program’s resources, the project equips young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape, while also encouraging the incorporation of Indigenous perspectives in the digital arts. Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, this initiative reflects the ongoing commitment to community-based innovation and education, with a focus on building digital literacy and fostering a new generation of Indigenous artists in the world of AI and interactive media.

In Music

Jukebox In Exile is the new country music album from Flin Flon singer-songwriter C.C. Trubiak, blending classic country, honky-tonk, Americana and traditional storytelling into a collection of songs inspired by resilience, community and life in Northern Manitoba. Written during and after the 2025 Flin Flon wildfire evacuation, the album draws influence from country music legends including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings and George Jones. Featuring the singles "Old Country Songs," "Being Rich" and the charting track "Outlaws Meditation," Jukebox In Exile showcases Trubiak's signature songwriting while celebrating small-town life, northern Canadian culture, queer country music and the enduring spirit of Flin Flon. The album is available now on major music streaming platforms.
Manitoba's own C.C. Trubiak's new album "Jukebox in Exile" dropped on June 5! Check it out!
