Through a special two-year program shared by Mount Allison University and l’Université de Moncton, Trask is dividing her time and expertise between the two universities as artist-in-residence. Trask continues to work with students, faculty members, and a variety of community stakeholders, giving talks, making public presentations, and undertaking research and artistic collaborations.This artist-in-residence program has been made possible thanks to a generous grant of $500,000 from Casino New Brunswick.
