As the days grow shorter and the scent of pine and cold air settles in, the Christmas season is officially upon us. Across our campuses and communities, students are wrapping up their final projects, submitting last assignments, and preparing to close out another busy semester. With the flurry of academic activity slowing, our programs begin to quiet as well—making room for a gentler, more festive rhythm.
It’s the time of year when trees are decorated, lights begin to glow in windows, and families gather to share traditions old and new. After a full and productive year, this season offers a welcome opportunity to rest, recharge, and reconnect with the people who matter most.
As we look back with gratitude on everything we’ve accomplished together, we’re also looking forward to a well-earned stretch of downtime.
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.
