The 2026 Spring Art Exhibition in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario, and Winnipeg, Manitoba features Northern Artists including Tony Eetak in a dynamic Multi and Inter-Arts showcase presented through our Northern Arts Program. Led by Arts Incubator Winnipeg, Art Borups Corners, and Melgund Recreation, Arts and Culture, the exhibition highlights visual art, music, and collaborative community projects, with a strong emphasis on Indigenous arts, land-based practices, and northern cultural traditions. Audiences can experience diverse works from emerging and established creators, connecting rural and urban northern communities, celebrating cross-disciplinary creativity, fostering cultural exchange, and reinforcing the region’s role as a vibrant hub for northern arts innovation and contemporary Indigenous expression.
