Northwestern Ontario Arts

The Arts Incubator is dedicated to strengthening Northwestern Ontario arts, supporting community-driven projects that connect local artists, youth, and cultural leaders across the region. From Dryden and Ignace to Borups Corners, Dyment, and Thunder Bay, the Incubator delivers mentorship, workshops, and digital arts programs that reflect the creativity and resilience of the North. With funding from the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts, its initiatives highlight Indigenous voices, rural innovation, and the unique perspectives of Northwestern Ontario artists. By investing in sustainable opportunities and cultural exchange, the Arts Incubator ensures that Northwestern Ontario arts continue to thrive within Canada’s broader cultural landscape.

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!
