Winnipeg

The Arts Incubator Winnipeg Hub showcases Winnipeg arts programming and Manitoba arts sector development through a dynamic platform for exhibitions, artist residencies, creative workshops, and community-based cultural initiatives. It highlights Winnipeg artists, Manitoba arts organizations, and Northern and Prairie creative networks working across visual arts, digital media, performance, and interdisciplinary practice. The hub supports arts programming in Winnipeg, including artist development programs, cultural events, public art initiatives, and collaborative projects that strengthen the local creative economy. It also features Manitoba arts funding opportunities, arts incubator programming, and innovation in contemporary Canadian arts practice, connecting emerging and established artists with audiences, partners, and cultural institutions across Winnipeg, Manitoba, and beyond.

Community isn't always about being in the same room at the same time. It's the encouragement, shared ideas, small acts of kindness and willingness to pitch in that keep people connected, even when life takes them in different directions.

We did this little project entirely for fun. Based on the famous game Frogger that our grandparents used to play, we decided to make our own version, called Moose Crossing!

Here's why toast is perfect: it knows things are going to get messy. Jam drips. Butter melts. Peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth. Toast doesn't judge. It just holds it all together long enough for you to take a bite. Our infrastructure is built on that same principle. Research in the arts is inherently sloppy—half-formed ideas, process artifacts, things that don't fit in boxes. The system isn't there to clean it up. It's there to catch it before it hits the floor.

The Infrastructure Is Toast

Toast, not hard hats: the lightweight infrastructure keeping our research network connected over time.

After our first exploration visualized the messy-wonderful mixture of scrambled research roles, we're taking the next big step: figuring out the cognified governance and consortium models that make it all work together. Think of this next phase as adding the bacon to our scrambled eggs; it’s not just a side, but the essential, savory, and structured element that brings everything to its full potential and makes the whole experiment infinitely more complete.

What Happens When Scrambled Research Meets Cognified Governance?

Scrambled Research gets a new ingredient: cognified governance. We’re exploring what happens when intelligence and decision-making become networked.

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!
