Manitoba

The Arts Incubator’s programs in Manitoba, anchored by its Winnipeg hub, provide essential support for Northern and rural artists across the province and into Northwestern Ontario. Established with funding from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Manitoba Arts Council, these initiatives offer mentorship, workshops, digital arts training, and land-based projects that highlight Indigenous creativity, rural innovation, and community-driven arts.

Through its Manitoba programs, the Arts Incubator connects emerging and established artists to networks, resources, and collaborative opportunities that strengthen cultural resilience and sustainability. By fostering place-based creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and peer-to-peer learning, the Incubator ensures that local artists can develop their practices, showcase their work, and engage audiences regionally and nationally.

With a focus on Northern perspectives and Manitoba arts, the Incubator positions the province as a hub for transformative, community-rooted artistic projects that resonate across Canada’s cultural landscape.

A Collection of Broken Resolutions is a gritty LGBTQ+ slice of life anthology and gay romance collection that explores domestic tension and male vulnerability. These unfinished tales and short stories serve as a contemporary BL response to the quiet isolation of the closeted experience. Centered on young adult themes and New Adult fiction, the book tackles the seasonal tyranny of the holidays, mental health, panic attacks, and the emotional struggle of finding belonging. Perfect for fans of realistic queer fiction, slow burn chemistry, and angsty character studies, this literary collection offers an honest look at men in love, coming out, and the bravery required to be truly seen.

Our commitment to an Open Access model was built on a simple belief: stories this important shouldn't be locked behind a paywall. Because we chose to remove those barriers, our books aren't just "available"—they are everywhere. We have successfully moved from a local initiative to a global cultural export, with our titles now sitting on digital shelves in over 426 locations worldwide.

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!
