Are you an early career artist looking for mentorship and the chance to develop your artwork at the Art Gallery of Ontario? The 2025 AGO x RBC Artist-in-Residence Program will support three artist projects, each to be developed over a three-month residency and shared with AGO visitors.
We are looking for early career artists and collectives interested in creating and developing artworks from a broad range of art practices (e.g., maker and/or social experiences, experience design, live performances, etc.)
Artists are asked to respond to one of the three unique residency formats in their proposals. We invite artists to think about the engagement of people in the museum context and how personal experience and one’s expanded practice shapes their project in the context of the AGO.
This residency may also be hybrid, with opportunities to connect both in-person and online with AGO staff and audiences. Three consecutive three-month residencies will run between January and October, 2025. Artists are invited to take inspiration from a specific AGO collecting area, artwork, or genre, a current or upcoming exhibition or an area of expertise within the museum, including conservation, library & archives, and education & public programs.
Engagement with AGO audiences—whether broadly defined or specific to one’s area or research-creation and its alignment to one of the three thematic calls—is at the heart of this residency. Proposals must explain how AGO visitors, staff, and other collaborators will interact or engage with and through the project.
Residencies will occur between January and October, 2025.
Deadline for Submissions: October 31, 2024, 5:00 PM ET
