Every year, Struts Gallery welcomes applications from professional visual and media artists to participate in our annual Open Studio Residency Program. Successful applicants are selected by a committee of professional artists.
Applications open annually after Labour day for the residencies beginning the following year. All calls are listed on our OPEN CALLS page and posted on social media.
Residencies are five-weeks long, generally beginning in May and running through October. The program aims to develop artists’ practices by supporting experimentation without the pressure to present a resolved body of work. Artists are offered the freedom to continue their practice or develop a new project or site-specific work. The residency is artist-driven and independent, with staff assistance available for community outreach, technical and logistical support. Artists are asked to creatively engage with the community through at least one public event (artist talk, workshop, or another artist-initiated event).
The deadline to submit is October 28, 2024.
