Rovers v. Rogers
2026-02-18 - 2026-03-14 | 174 Market Avenue, 174 Market Avenue, Winnipeg, R3B 0T9
“If you’ve got a vision, never give up control.” – Ted Rogers
A David vs. Goliath story for a new age, Rogers v. Rogers examines the merits of fighting back, the cost of ambition, and the complicated legacy of love and defiance in the shadow of power.
Telecom tycoon Ted Rogers spent a lifetime turning Canada’s airwaves into money — and a company into a virtual monopoly. Now his son Edward is fighting to take control of the family empire. At the same time, a wily public servant is determined to block a billion-dollar merger. Ambition, defiance and public interest collide in a battle of wills.

Artist Statement
Reaching deep on an emotional level, striving to create art infused with soul and beauty, the works presented in this exhibition resonate beyond the surface idea of abstracted landscapes. This process has become an essential part of my artistic identity, grounded in the exploration of emotion, connection, and reflection.
Each piece unfolds through the layering of multiple alcohol ink colour blends, manipulated through droplets, brushes, knives, and other tools, revealing complexity and harmony. The final layer, featuring carefully and randomly placed lines and dots in acrylic, suggests a journey that is more controlled than the flow of ink in the layers below, while following the path presented. The dots move rhythmically across the surface like steps on a life map, representing the paths we walk, the choices we make, and the passage of time.
The act of applying each dot is both deliberate and meditative, a process that bridges the visual and the introspective. Working on these pieces reflects a moment of contemplation, an opportunity to process the truths in the news, in life, and in my health journey. Each piece translates into something tangible, luminous, and deeply human.
My artwork continues to evolve as life around me changes. The big shifts that unfolded in 2025 have brought new perspectives, adventures, and moments to process, each one finding its way into the work as it grows and transforms.

Sound Like Light 2026
2026-03-06 20:00 - 2026-03-07 00:00 | Sound Bites Room, 555 Main St., Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3B 1C3, Canada
Returning to Lights On the Exchange is the second edition of Sound Like Light, the festival’s signature live event, where music, sound, and light collide.
– BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE –
This year we’re taking over Manitoba Centennial Concert Hall’s Sound Bites Room for an immersive evening of pulsating beats, live sound art, musical performance, and dynamic DJ sets, augmented by live digital projections by festival curators Manufacturing Entertainment.
The evening will be anchored by music selections from a roster of DJs, featuring Wanda G, DJ $uraj, and DJ Hunnicutt, and will feature live performances by Compost (MB) and Colby Richardson (ON).

Compost is nutrient rich music for a healthy body and mind. It’s the grit and grind of deep bass and decomposing blown up beats from which flowery keyboards blossom. The instrumental trio, composed of Julian Beutel, Eric Roberts and Justin Alcock, references ’90s beatmakers and European electronic music, cycling between movement and meditation.

Colby Richardson is a media artist, experimental filmmaker, and sound artist currently based in Toronto, Ontario. He’ll be closing out the evening with Dimmer Switch, a performance for sound and light that takes advantage of the inability of compact fluorescent light bulbs to properly dim. Exposed guitar cables are placed near and in between the bulb’s flickering coils to transform the electrical bursts into a range of percussive and piercing sounds.
This event is ages 18+
Don’t miss an unforgettable collision of light, sound, and movement.

In the Shadow Beyond the Pines
2026-03-11 - 2026-03-28 | 140 Rupert Ave, 140 Rupert Ave, Winnipeg, R3B 0T9
“Out here, freaking out can get you killed. You just need to have faith. And besides, this fire is sacred. It’ll keep us safe” – George
Set in modern times but steeped in a dark and haunting past, this atmospheric ghost story explores the shadows of Indigenous life and lore with a hint of humour.
Amid the mysteries of the vast wilderness of northern Manitoba, three young men wrestle with the loss of their friend by reclaiming the cultural practice of lighting a sacred fire. When they realize they’ve forgotten the flashlight and their phones have died, legends and memories are all they have to guide them through the night. Created in the Pimootayowin Creators Circle, this world premiere will draw you in while making no promises of letting you go.
