Winnipeg

Our Arts Incubator Program, based in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, is a vibrant new initiative designed to celebrate and elevate Canada’s arts and culture. This dynamic space fosters participatory arts, providing opportunities for creative expression through music, storytelling, Indigenous art, and special events for all ages. Rooted in community-building, the program offers youth-focused activities, workshops, and mentorships that bring together artists, families, and audiences from across the region. Our programs have been supported by the OpenAI Researcher Access Program., the Canada Council for the Arts and the Manitoba Arts Council.
