Our Creative and Climate Entrepreneurship activities are empowering communities to lead the way in sustainable innovation by merging artistic creativity, music and climate action. From incubating participatory arts that inspire environmental awareness to supporting youth-led initiatives in Winnipeg, Borups Corners, and Minneapolis, we’re creating opportunities to tackle the climate crisis through ingenuity and collaboration. Since 2024 our program has been supported by the OpenAI Researcher Access Program.

Join us in advancing a sustainable future where art, entrepreneurship, and climate action come together to spark meaningful transformation across Canada and beyond.
