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.

This program was seeded with funding from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse program. This program allowed us to explore strategic arts innovation, capacity building and new technologies. Programming was also supported by the OpenAI Researcher Access Program, the Ontario Arts Council Multi and Inter-Arts Projects Program and the Province of Ontario. We thank them for their support.
