    This year’s Spring Arts Exhibition at the Dyment Recreation Hall in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario proudly features the powerful work of local Borups Corners artist Leanne Nicholson. Rooted in the landscapes and traditions of Northwestern Ontario, Leanne’s striking mixed-media art—ranging from intricately painted skulls and antlers to expressive wildlife imagery—captures the spirit of the land in a way that is both raw and deeply moving. Her nature-inspired work blends visual arts and found natural materials, creating a unique artistic voice shaped by resilience, lived experience, and a deep connection to place. We are excited to showcase her work and celebrate local art, creativity, and community at this year’s exhibition.

    Melgund Township is home to two of Ontario’s smallest rural communities, Borups Corners and Dyment, each rooted in a long history of northern settlement and community life. Despite their size, both communities continue to stay active through local recreation, culture, and shared public spaces. Travellers passing through Northwestern Ontario are welcomed at the historic Dyment Community Hall, built in 1929, which remains a central gathering place and a familiar stop for those travelling across Canada on Highway 17.

ART BORUPS CORNERS SOCIETY

Art Borups Corners is a non-profit arts incubator based in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We bring artists, youth, and local residents together through hands-on creative projects, workshops, and storytelling rooted in everyday life in the North. Our focus is on making space for people to try things, share skills, and build confidence through art that grows out of where they live.


We’re also a place for testing ideas and working across different ways of making — from land-based practice to digital work and everything in between. Much of what we do happens through partnerships and shared projects, connecting local creative work with wider conversations while keeping things grounded, practical, and community-led.
