Northwestern Ontario

The Arts Incubator works closely with artists and communities in Northwestern Ontario, building opportunities for creative development rooted in the realities of the North. Through workshops, mentorship, and digital platforms, the Incubator supports projects that reflect the cultural strength and resilience of the region. With the backing of the Ontario Arts Council, its programming uplifts both emerging and established artists, ensuring that the voices of Northwestern Ontario are connected, celebrated, and recognized within the wider Canadian arts 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!
