Founder and indigenous artist, Lars Stoltz has been creating art for fundraisers and eligible charities for over a decade. Located in Snow Lake MB we aim to bring the global arts & entertainment industry to the north and allow our own local artists and creators to connect with mainstream avenues of success.

Our mandate is to further the needs of Northern communities through art. We aim to bring modern facilities and services to the arts and culture industries of northern communities, with a focus on remote and in-need locations. 

Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) is a nonprofit environmental organization with three locations in the Roaring Fork Valley: Hallam Lake, Rock Bottom Ranch, and the Catto Center at Toklat.

Since 1968, ACES has inspired a lifelong commitment to the Earth by providing innovative and immersive programming for all ages. Our programs focus on education, regenerative agriculture, forest and ecosystem health, climate, land restoration, and environmental leadership.

ACES contributes to a national agenda for increased environmental awareness. With support for many partner organizations, our programs, reach over 140,000 individuals every year. We teach in local schools daily, lead camps in the summer, and host adult classes. We share the beauty and ecology of our area with locals and visitors through Naturalist-led hikes and field programs for all ages. We also engage our community by hosting public lectures and events. ACES collaborates with land trusts, public agencies, and other nonprofits to achieve our mission. 

In the decades ahead, ACES seeks to cultivate a community of environmental stewards so that children, parents, consumers, decision-makers, and leaders can make informed decisions in an increasingly complex world. 

Mothership NYC (est. 2005) is a multidisciplinary artist collective and live-work residency and presentation space in a former pickles factory in Greenpoint, Brooklyn—a proud throwback to New York's avant-garde past and a safe harbor for international creatives. Founded and captained by a painter, Mothership NYC houses a rotating crew of artists across multiple disciplines, including visual art, dance, theater, film, performance, and new media. A self-guided residency, what distinguishes us from insitutional programs is our intimate, homey setting and unique composition: out of a crew of max six residents at any one time, half are NYC-based artists, giving international visitors organic, insider access to the local art scene.

Monthly Mothership Salons are held on the open-air Main Deck or at sister venue Last Frontier NYC: a charismatic warehouse loft inside an industrial complex turned rooftop nature sanctuary. With access to several one-of-a-kind showcases, our events bring together local and international artists, thinkers, and arts professionals & appreciators for informal gatherings that spark new ideas and lasting collaborations. We are serious about creating our own fun!

Salt Road Studio Residency is a fully funded international artist residency located in Akō, Japan, a historic coastal city along the Seto Inland Sea. Designed for contemporary visual artists, the residency provides time, space, and financial support to develop new work while engaging with Japanese culture, community, and landscape.
