Jamie Bell and the amazing Val T. Lint catch up in Winnipeg’s vibrant Exchange District after a week of inspiring arts dialogues — a true celebration of creative energy and collaboration made possible by the Manitoba Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.

Following a vibrant gathering with the Manitoba Arts Council, Jamie Bell and the amazing Val T. Lint connected in downtown Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District. Their conversation reflected on the powerful dialogues that took place throughout the week, touching on community resilience, Indigenous leadership in the arts, and the future of inclusive cultural policy. The Exchange District, with its deep creative roots, served as the perfect backdrop for this meaningful exchange between longtime collaborators and advocates for the arts.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts and the Manitoba Arts Council for organizing this week’s impactful dialogues. Their leadership continues to create space for connection, creativity, and critical conversations that strengthen the arts ecosystem in Manitoba and beyond.

Art Borups Corners is a dynamic participatory arts collective and living lab, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. It's a space where innovation and creativity thrive. The program was founded in 2014, with its arts incubator established in 2021 and 2022 with funding and support from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse. Today, working with students and faculty from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, we fuse traditional and participatory media arts with artificial intelligence, music, storytelling and community-driven, land-based artist residencies to cultivate new voices and bold ideas. Whether through collaborative projects or immersive experiences, our small but vibrant community supports creators to explore, experiment, and connect. Join us at the intersection of artistry, technology, culture and community—where every moment is a new opportunity to create.
