Community Projects

Discover community projects that support artists, strengthen organizations, and build more vibrant communities. Our work combines community arts, creative entrepreneurship, climate action, public art, placemaking, and cultural programming to create meaningful local impact. Through artist professional development, leadership training, community engagement initiatives, nonprofit capacity building, and creative economy projects, we help artists, cultural organizations, and communities develop the skills, partnerships, and opportunities needed to thrive.

Across the vast, culturally rich landscapes of Northwestern Ontario and the broader Canadian North, a powerful creative movement is taking shape. From the intricate beadwork of the Anishinaabe and Dene to the striking sculptures of Inuit carvers and the digital art of a new generation, creativity in these regions has always been more than expression — it is storytelling, identity, and survival.

Jukebox In Exile is the new country music album from Flin Flon singer-songwriter C.C. Trubiak, blending classic country, honky-tonk, Americana and traditional storytelling into a collection of songs inspired by resilience, community and life in Northern Manitoba. Written during and after the 2025 Flin Flon wildfire evacuation, the album draws influence from country music legends including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings and George Jones. Featuring the singles "Old Country Songs," "Being Rich" and the charting track "Outlaws Meditation," Jukebox In Exile showcases Trubiak's signature songwriting while celebrating small-town life, northern Canadian culture, queer country music and the enduring spirit of Flin Flon. The album is available now on major music streaming platforms.
Manitoba's own C.C. Trubiak's new album "Jukebox in Exile" dropped on June 5! Check it out today!
