The Arts Incubator

Winnipeg, Manitoba

The project is grounded in a dynamic process of collaborative engagement and capacity building, utilizing arts-based research methodologies to ensure the work is both relevant and empowering. A key focus is Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR), which positions young people as leaders in investigating their own economic realities and co-designing their futures. Through a series of co-design workshops, digital storytelling projects, and community forums, ECO-STAR North facilitates intergenerational knowledge transfer, connecting youth with Elders and established creators. This hands-on, community-led approach ensures the resulting toolkit is not an academic exercise, but a living, practical resource built by and for Northern innovators, strengthening a resilient and interconnected creative ecosystem.

Qaumajuq. The Winnipeg Art Gallery We come together at Qaumajuq not as strangers, but as echoes—called into the same light. The space holds us gently, like breath caught in a moment of knowing. Each step on the stone floor feels like a continuation, not a beginning. Here, collaboration feels like remembering. Voices blend, not to rise above, but to ripple outward—soft, certain. We build together in fragments and rhythms, trusting the silence as much as the sound.

Multi-agent systems rely on specialist agents — AI systems dedicated to specific types of work. These can include text generation, image synthesis, data analysis, or even music composition. Each agent is designed to perform a narrow but complex task exceptionally well.

AI Agents: Specialists at Work

The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg November 12, 2025
At its core, an AI “agent” is not sentient. It’s a system capable of perceiving its environment, planning a sequence of actions, and executing those actions to reach a goal. In a multi-agent system, these behaviors are distributed across the team.

Research: When AI Becomes a Team

Jamie Bell November 10, 2025
Practical workflows are also changing the conversation. Artists are increasingly using AI to handle repetitive or large-scale tasks, freeing humans to focus on storytelling and interpretation.

AI and the Arts

It’s easy to look at these pipelines and think that what we’re building is engineering, not creativity.
