Welcoming a Fresh New Platform

We’re excited to roll out our redesigned website, offering a fresh look and improved features to better showcase our work across arts, climate entrepreneurship, and sustainable agriculture.

Refreshing our online space to better connect with communities and share the latest from our arts and sustainability programs. Thanks for your patience as we build something new!

Exciting Changes Ahead: Our Website is Getting a Fresh New Look

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re rolling out a completely redesigned website — a project we’ve been eager to tackle for some time now. Our current platform has served us well, but it was due for a major upgrade to better reflect the dynamic work we do and to offer visitors a smoother, more engaging online experience.

As we transition to the new site, some content may temporarily be missing or under construction. Rest assured, we are actively working to restore all information and resources, so you’ll soon have full access to everything you’ve come to expect and more.

In the meantime, we invite you to explore the latest news and updates from our diverse programs in arts, creative and climate entrepreneurship, AI and sustainable agriculture. It’s been a busy period, with exciting projects unfolding across Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, Nunavut, and Minnesota — regions we proudly serve and collaborate with.

We’re committed to making this new site a vibrant hub for sharing stories, resources, and opportunities that connect and empower artists, entrepreneurs, and communities.

Thank you for your patience and continued support during this renovation. We can’t wait to share our next adventures with you soon!

The Arts Incubator

Administrator

The Arts Incubator 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.

Our Monarch Mission

Art Borups Corners Apr 15, 2026
This frost acts as a lethal "kill switch," rupturing the plant’s cells and ending its life cycle for the season. This icy death is exactly why seeds require stratification; they must remain dormant to avoid being destroyed by the very cold seen here. Once this freezing cycle passes, the seeds finally receive the signal that it is safe to wake up and grow.

The Melgund Integrated Nuclear Impact Assessment Project (MINIAP) is a community-driven research and policy initiative examining the environmental, social, cultural, economic, and long-term safety impacts of the proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada’s used nuclear fuel in Melgund, Ontario. Aligned with the federal impact assessment process led by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, and focused on the proposal advanced by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, this integrated project analyzes groundwater protection, nuclear waste storage safety, Indigenous rights and treaty interests, environmental monitoring, long-term radioactive waste containment, emergency preparedness, regulatory oversight, community health, regional economic impacts, and intergenerational stewardship. Designed to enhance public participation, transparency, and evidence-based decision-making, the Melgund Integrated Nuclear Impact Assessment Project provides accessible analysis, technical review, and community engagement resources to support informed input into Canada’s nuclear waste management strategy and the federal impact assessment process.
