Residency

The Sable Island Institute and Sable Island National Park Reserve (SINPR) invite proposals from professional artists in the four Atlantic Provinces for the first Sable Island artist residency.

This unique program will offer two weeks on the island for an artist to research and engage with its unique environment, history and characteristics in October 2025. This will lead to the creation of an original work of art that embodies and interprets Sable’s cultural and natural features. Applications are welcome from artists in all disciplines.

Proposals and supporting documents must be posted on the website using a dedicated portal.

The deadline for applications is 2400 (AT), Sunday March 30th, 2025.

Detailed Terms of Reference for the residency are available here.

Every July and August, artists in the City of Fredericton Summer Artist in Residence Program spend two weeks ‘in residence’ at either Killarney Lake Park or the Fredericton Botanic Garden, creating special projects and art pieces inspired by their surroundings.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to visit the parks and talk with the artists to learn more about their work and creative process. Be sure to follow the artists’ social media to watch their creations evolve and for updates on upcoming events, including artist talks, demos, workshops, and Q&As. (more…)

Mother Earth has gifted us with the four seasons. 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.

For this year’s Mawi’Art: Wabanaki Artist Collective Connections Residencies, we are asking for proposals with that theme in mind.

This residency opportunity, hosted by Struts Gallery is part of an artistic project by Joshua Schwebel called One Hand Washes the Other.

The project examines how philanthropic donations from the mining industry are integrated into Canada’s arts and education systems. The Paydirt Residency puts a form of counter-philanthropy into practice. Funded by Schwebel’s own arts grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, this residency aims to amplify artistic and cultural actors whose practices resist colonial extractivism.
