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.

Apple Orchard Project Blossoms in the Northwest

Seedlings for a northern apple orchard are thriving as spring arrives, marking the next phase of a community-led food sovereignty project. Seeded with support from the Manitoba Agriculture Indigenous Food Systems and Agriculture program and the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, last year’s five pilot trees survived the winter. This season, 30 more apple trees will be planted—laying deep roots for a resilient, local food future.
