Borups Corners

Step into the artistic heartbeat of Melgund Township. As the home of our living lab for land-based artistry, this section explores the creative narratives shaping Borups Corners, Northwestern Ontario. From site-specific wilderness art to Indigenous-led AI storytelling labs we bridge traditional northern heritage with digital innovation.

Arts, Creativity and Emerging AI Technologies

Explore community-driven public art, seasonal photography walks, and immersive exhibitions that redefine the Highway 17 corridor. Our participatory arts research even transforms complex regional issues—like nuclear waste management and the Deep Geological Repository—into human-centric media stories, ensuring local voices resonate with creativity and care. Stay connected with the artists, mural projects, and pioneering creative spaces that make Art Borups Corners a beacon for rural arts in the North.

Look familiar? Yes, it's the lower level of the Dyment Recreation Hall. This is a concept for a new creative recreation space designed using AI tools.

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.
