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.
Open call for Canadian or international artists working in the expanded field of visual art, sound art, film, new media, performance, movement, or installation, to propose artistic research that responds critically to the interconnections between resource extraction, settler colonialism and philanthropy.
Selected artist(s) will:
- Spend up to two months (between March and April 2025) living and working at Struts Gallery
- Receive a stipend of $8000
- Be provided with free accommodations
Deadline for submissions: September 10, 2024
Location: Sackville, New Brunswick, hosted by Struts Gallery
