Celebrating a True Friend and Music Maker

Happy Birthday to Paul Eetak, one of our most dedicated supporters and a true friend of our work! For nearly 15 years, Paul has been a constant presence—whether lending his energy to our events, offering encouragement behind the scenes, or filling the room with his incredible guitar playing. His generosity, spirit, and talent have helped shape our community in ways that words can’t fully capture, and we are endlessly grateful for all the ways he shows up.

Paul, your music reminds us to pause, reflect, and celebrate life’s moments—big and small. Today, we hope you take a well-deserved break to enjoy the same joy and kindness you’ve given to so many of us. Happy Birthday, and here’s to many more years of music, laughter, and community together!

About the Author

The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg

The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg

Administrator

The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg 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.
