Art Borups Corners Summer Incubator Team Meeting – 5/5/2025

Building Capacity for the Arts in Northwestern Ontario!

Are you an artist, part of an arts collective, or group looking to innovate your practice and boost your entrepreneurial spirit? This week, we’re thrilled to launch into the world of creative entrepreneurship, specifically exploring how cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools can help you work smarter, not harder, in your artistic activities.

Join us Monday morning on May 5th for a groundbreaking session where we will unpack cool tools and introduce innovative concepts and approaches currently being embraced by other creative projects. Discover practical ways AI can streamline your processes, enhance your creativity, and foster sustainable growth for your artistic career or organization.

We are honored to be joined by distinguished experts, Krish Agrawal and Dr. Olaf Kuhlke, both from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, who will share their invaluable insights and expertise.

This is a truly exceptional professional development opportunity, especially curated for artists, collectives, and groups in Northern and Northwestern Ontario, providing essential knowledge and skills to navigate the evolving arts landscape with confidence and innovation.

About the Art Borups Corners Program

This summer, we are excited to announce the third season for our Incubator for Digital Arts and Cultural Entrepreneurship, building on the success of our original pilot program launched in 2022. This season, we are proud to be delivering an intensive internship, mentorship, and collective capacity-building program.

Each week will have a different theme, ranging from digital arts, tools and technologies, to administration skills, like grant writing, proposal writing, budgeting and advertising. It’s open to all, and we meet both in-person and online most weeks. We encourage you to contact us at info@artsincubator.ca for more information!
