April 1: Apply for the Under $100 Art Show in Winnipeg

Art Borups Corners 23 Mar 2026
In the 2026 Spring Arts Exhibition in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario, Inuit artist and filmmaker Eva Suluk showcases her acclaimed work from Isuma TV’s Inuit Makers series. Her eight-part documentary films capture traditional land-based practices, including caribou harvesting, butchering, and meat preservation, highlighting the intergenerational transfer of Inuit knowledge, skills, and storytelling. Shot in a meditative “Slow TV” style, Eva’s films provide an immersive glimpse into Inuit culture, northern Canadian traditions, and Indigenous heritage. Visitors can explore her work alongside visual art, photography, and interactive exhibits, connecting local audiences with northern Indigenous perspectives. Watch the full series on Isuma TV and experience the continuity of Inuit land-based practices and cultural storytelling.

Spring Exhibition 2026 welcomes Eva Suluk

Art Borups Corners 23 Mar 2026
This year’s Spring Arts Exhibition at the Dyment Recreation Hall in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario is proud to spotlight the powerful work of local Borups Corners artist Leanne Nicholson. Deeply rooted in the landscapes of northwestern Ontario, Leanne’s striking mixed-media practice—ranging from intricately painted skulls and antlers to evocative wildlife imagery—brings the spirit of the land into the space in a way that is both raw and deeply moving. We are excited to welcome her work into this year’s exhibition and to share her unique voice, shaped by nature, resilience, and lived experience, with the community.

2026 Spring Arts Exhibition: Leanne Nicholson

Art Borups Corners 22 Mar 2026
This beautiful, but heavily worn, Volvo P1800 sports coupe—famous for its elegant design and starring role in The Saint—now sits quietly, its original red paint fading to purple. The distinct curves and chrome details are still visible beneath the rust, suggesting a glamorous life that ended here among the trees.
