White Box Residencies 📦

In response to the climate of uncertainty and the even more precarious situation of artists in the pandemic era, the Galerie Sans Nom established the White Box mini-residency program in order to offer time, space, resources and support for artists.

2022-2023 call now open!

White Box Residencies

White Box Residencies is a mini-residencies program open to all artists and collectives currently located in New Brunswick! The GSN will invite two to three artists (or collectives) between September 2022 and Summer 2023. We offer our white-box gallery, our tools and a stipend to research, create and play in our space for one or two weeks. We can also help with travel and lodging if you’re coming from outside the Greater Moncton Area. You do your thing and all we ask is a small public presentation that can take any form.
