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.

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!
