Cultural Entrepreneurship

Cultural entrepreneurship is about building sustainable, creative enterprises rooted in identity, heritage, and community impact. This section showcases tools, case studies, and emerging models for creative entrepreneurs, cultural producers, and community leaders who are transforming their artistic and cultural practices into socially responsible enterprises. Our Arts Incubator was piloted with support from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse, Manitoba Arts Council, and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design’s Creative Entrepreneurship and Master of Arts in Creative Leadership Programs.

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!
