Winnipeg Manitoba

The Arts Incubator’s central Winnipeg hub is a dynamic platform supporting Northern and rural artists across Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. In partnership with the Art Borups Corners Collective and with funding from the Canada Council for the Arts and Manitoba Arts Council, the hub provides mentorship, workshops, digital arts training, and land-based programs that amplify Indigenous voices, rural creativity, and Northern perspectives.
As a hub for community-driven arts innovation, it connects emerging and established artists to resources, networks, and opportunities that strengthen cultural resilience and sustainability. Through initiatives in media arts, public art, storytelling, and collaborative projects, the Winnipeg hub ensures that Northern artists and rural creators can develop their practice, share their work, and engage with audiences locally and nationally.
By prioritizing place-based creativity, peer-to-peer learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration, The Arts Incubator Winnipeg hub is not just a space—it is a launchpad for transformative Northern and rural arts projects that connect local communities to the wider Canadian cultural landscape.

A groundbreaking virtual gallery, supported by the OpenAI Researcher Access Program, is offering Indigenous youth in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a unique opportunity to engage with the latest in digital arts and technology. This initiative is fueled by a partnership with the Manitoba Arts Council and is centered around participatory media arts, empowering young creators with hands-on experiences in game design, virtual galleries, AI image generation, prompt engineering, and coding. The gallery serves as a platform for cultivating critical digital arts literacy, encouraging the exploration of interactive media, curation, and AI technologies. By integrating gamification principles, this program helps foster a deep understanding of how digital tools can be used for artistic expression. Through this innovative approach, youth are not only learning technical skills but also gaining the confidence to curate their own digital artworks and experiences. In collaboration with Google News and other digital platforms, the project showcases how Indigenous youth are using cutting-edge technologies to enhance their creativity and expand their artistic horizons. By offering access to the OpenAI Researcher Access Program’s resources, the project equips young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape, while also encouraging the incorporation of Indigenous perspectives in the digital arts. Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, this initiative reflects the ongoing commitment to community-based innovation and education, with a focus on building digital literacy and fostering a new generation of Indigenous artists in the world of AI and interactive media.

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.

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.
