The Cross-Cultural Creation Residency

Nine perspectives, one artistic experience to create and engage in dialogue.
Ten days of creative companionship.

ArtsLink in collaboration with Mawi’art Wabanaki Artist Collective and the Association acadienne des artistes professionnel.le.s du Nouveau-Brunswick (AAAPNB) established an artistic research residency in 2019 that offered three artists from each organization a 10-day multicultural opportunity that encouraged exploration, collaboration and creation. This is a biennial residency continued in 2021 (with the subsequent Wayfinding exhibit in 2022), 2023 in Metepenagiag, and 2025 in Villégiature Deux Rivières.

RESIDENCY GOALS:

To encourage artistic exploration and the creation of new works, by creating in healthy, artistically conducive conditions
To contribute to the increasing artistic quality of works
To facilitate collaboration and the sharing of expertise
To create significant cultural bridges between the different communities in the province
To facilitate meetings between the artists and the public and help the public better understand the creation process.
