A Full House for Country Twist!

What a day at the Dyment Recreation Hall! Country Twist, featuring the talented Gerry McArthur, Tanya McArthur, and Maurice Betournay, truly rocked the house today, playing to a full audience that was ready to celebrate. With dancing, a constant stream of lively tunes, and so many other activities happening around the complex, it was truly a fantastic Canada Day for everyone who came out.

A massive thank you goes out to the Local Services Board of Melgund for their incredible support in making such a vibrant and fun event possible. Their dedication to the community shone through, creating a day packed with good times and neighbourly cheer. It’s events like these that truly bring Melgund Township to life!

Administrator

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.

This exhibition weaves together visual art, storytelling, and digital experimentation, highlighting the unique perspectives that emerge from both rural and northern spaces. By connecting artists across regions, the show creates a shared platform for collaboration, cultural exchange, and community expression—inviting audiences to experience work that is grounded in place, shaped by lived experience, and driven by a collective spirit of creativity and resilience.
