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.

Strengthening Arts and Community Engagement: A Path Forward As we continue to shape the residency’s structure, we’re also prioritizing the need for capacity building with local and regional arts organizations, now just our own. Our focus is on equipping both individual artists and cultural organizations with the skills and leadership pipelines necessary to initiate and manage projects, build sustainable networks, and secure funding.

Manitoba Food, Art Project Launches Online Cookbook

Come Eat With Me Manitoba is a groundbreaking AI-powered cookbook featuring a new Manitoba-inspired recipe every week. Developed by Indigenous youth, this project blends food security, culinary innovation, digital storytelling, participatory media arts, and AI-generated food imagery to create a dynamic and interactive food experience.

Featuring wild game, freshwater fish, prairie-grown grains, foraged berries, and farm-to-table produce, this evolving cookbook supports Manitoba food heritage, eco-conscious eating, and digital-first culinary storytelling. With a strong focus on interactive learning, visual storytelling, and food equity, Come Eat With Me Manitoba invites readers to discover the vibrant flavors of the province while supporting youth innovation, AI-driven creativity, and culturally rooted food experiences.
