Get ready to support local initiatives and potentially take home unique treasures! This year’s Canada Day celebrations in Melgund Township will include an exciting Silent Auction and Fundraiser at this year’s Market offering attendees a chance to contribute to community efforts while bidding on a variety of items.

Among the items available, Jamie Bell from The Arts Incubator has generously donated a few frames photographs. The Winnipeg-based arts program has been actively collaborating with the Art Borups Corners Collective this summer to support building arts capacity and training in the area. This contribution highlights the vibrant local arts scene and the spirit of community support.

This special donation highlights the growing artistic talent and community spirit in Melgund. Be sure to stop by the Silent Auction to bid on the many unique items that will be available!

About the Author

The Arts Incubator

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.
