Happy Fourth of July!

Whether you're enjoying a lakeside barbecue in Minnesota or marveling at the midnight sun in Alaska, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Whether you're enjoying a lakeside barbecue in Minnesota or marveling at the midnight sun in Alaska, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Whether you're enjoying a lakeside barbecue in Minnesota or marveling at the midnight sun in Alaska, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Today, as we celebrate the birth of American independence, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and joy to our incredible collaborators and partners in Minnesota and Alaska. Your dedication, innovation, and spirit of cooperation have been instrumental in our collective success, and today, we honor the strong bonds we’ve built together.

Minnesota, with its vibrant cities, picturesque lakes, and welcoming communities, reflects the diverse and dynamic spirit of America. The commitment to excellence and teamwork we see from partners like the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and the University of Minnesota Duluth continually inspire us. Whether we’re brainstorming ideas or implementing groundbreaking projects, the synergies we’ve created together have made tangible impacts and are truly something to celebrate.

So, on this day of national pride and unity, let’s take a moment to appreciate the freedom that allows us to dream big and achieve great things together. Whether you’re enjoying a lakeside barbecue in Minnesota or marveling at the midnight sun in Alaska, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose!

Here’s to our shared accomplishments and the promising future ahead! Happy Independence Day, and thank you for being such invaluable partners.

Manitoba, Nunavut and Minnesota have been working together on a number of projects for a few years now. We’re thankful to them for their encouragement, support and partnership. We hope to see new adventures in the future!

Upcoming Exhibitions

The Art Spot Canada Under $100 Art Exhibition is coming to Winnipeg, Manitoba this August! ART SPOT was created in 2008 in Calgary to support local emerging artists.  ART SPOT has curated and facilitated over 100 successful art events, including solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, workshops, concerts, body painting competitions, markets, community events and more.
Our arts show brings together creative voices from across Northwestern Ontario and Manitoba, with a special focus on the communities of Dyment and Borups Corners in Melgund Township. This exhibition weaves together visual art, storytelling, and digital experimentation, highlighting the unique perspectives that emerge from both rural and northern spaces. By connecting artists across regions, the show creates a shared platform for collaboration, cultural exchange, and community expression—inviting audiences to experience work that is grounded in place, shaped by lived experience, and driven by a collective spirit of creativity and resilience.
