Northern Ontario ARts Archives - Art Borups Corners

This new work is a significant achievement for the Northwestern Ontario and Manitoba storytelling program, an initiative championed by the Art Borups Corners collective during its 2025 summer arts internship and mentorship project. The interdisciplinary arts program provides young writers and community members with practical arts-focused skill development, helping them turn personal experiences into resonant stories that connect with a wider audience. It's designed to build confidence and hone creative expression through structured mentorship and workshops.
