Winnipeg Arts

The Arts Incubator’s Winnipeg hub is a central platform for Winnipeg arts, connecting local artists with mentorship, workshops, internships, and collaborative projects. Seeded with support from the Manitoba Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts, the hub provides resources and opportunities for Indigenous youth artists, rural creators, and emerging talent across the city and surrounding Northern communities.

Through programs in digital media, land-based arts, and community-driven projects, the Incubator strengthens Winnipeg’s cultural landscape while fostering connections to Northern Ontario, Manitoba, and broader Canadian arts networks. By prioritizing peer-to-peer learning, mentorship, and skill-building, the Winnipeg hub ensures that local artists have the tools to grow their practice, share their work, and engage audiences regionally and nationally.

With a focus on community engagement, sustainable creative practice, and Indigenous cultural leadership, the Arts Incubator positions Winnipeg as a hub for vibrant, inclusive, and transformative arts in Manitoba.

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!
