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.

Aisle lights flicker like low-budget auroras. A cart drifts alone, existential, beneath a sky of suspended rollback signs. Somewhere between frozen peas and bulk ramen, time folds. The artist doesn't seek inspiration—they forage. The absurdity of price becomes performance. Meaning hides in markdowns. Surveillance watches, but never truly sees.

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.
