Call to Artists: Residencies at Sunbury Shores 🏠

Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre is offering an Artist in Residence Program for two professional artists to undertake a two-week residency in St. Andrews in 2025.

The residencies are available for two weeks each in one of two studios: metalwork or ceramics. Both studios are well equipped with suitable equipment. Artists should plan to bring their own art materials.

For each two-week residency, artists will receive $2,500.00, with 50% payable on the first day of the residency and the remaining on the last day. A contract outlining the conditions of the residency will be signed by both parties prior to the start of the residency (Sunbury Shores and artist). Sunbury Shores was established 60 years ago as an arts and nature centre; this collaboration between the environment and the arts continues to inform the vision for the centre and for the Artist in Residence Program.

The deadline for applications is January 15, 2025.

For more information, and the application form, go here.

Each of these seasons hold teachings for our people that help us connect and learn from the lands of our ancestors, from the behaviors of the mammals and fish, from the changing of trees, from the light of the sun and the cycles of life that provide lessons that help us thrive and grow. Traditionally we spent every season in preparation for the next.
