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 scoop becomes a witness. The swirl is not dessert—it is doctrine, layered with pixel-static and the soft surrender of vanilla in fluorescence. Forty-six thousand five hundred fourteen eyes have seen it, but none tasted the same myth twice. The cone, pinned to the wall like a saint. Cold sugar, eternal return. A bite taken in Elmwood ripples into the archive of glances, archived now in memory, now in metadata. Art lives here—not in frames, but in freezers, in marker-signed mandates, in the quiet sermon of soft-serve melting into ritual.

Soft Serve Frequencies

The cold hum spills sideways across time, tasting like the absence of plans. A cone dissolves before it’s named. Somewhere between ketchup packet and ceiling…

This is where the practice breathes — not in the studio or the pitch deck, but in the exhale afterward. In the quiet after you’ve given so much. In the ordinary, where art doesn’t have to prove itself. You are not your deadline here. You are not your critique. You’re just someone with tired hands and an appetite for something simple, something real, something served with a smile and a "thanks for coming in tonight."

Art Lives in the Silence Between Bites

In the still life of a Winnipeg diner table, time rests between granules. Sugar, salt, and ketchup — the elemental trinity of the everyday —…

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!
