Photos and Short Stories

Through photos and personal narratives, we aim to capture everything from community events and local traditions to the quiet, everyday experiences that make our corner of Northwestern Ontario special. It’s a place to celebrate our shared heritage, connect with neighbors, and ensure the spirit of Dyment and Borups Corners continues to thrive for generations to come.

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.
