The Artist in Residence program gives a professional artist the opportunity to work collaboratively with the community, City staff, and the Art in Public Places Committee to identify and develop an art plan over a two-year term.
The program is open to mid-career professional artists working in visual media (painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture, crafts, photography, film, and video), music, performance, and literary art. The artist must be a resident of British Columbia. All applications are reviewed by a selection panel and shortlisted applicants undergo an interview process with the City’s Art in Public Places Committee.
We are hosting a virtual information session on June 15, 2022, from 5:30 – 7 p.m. via Teams for anyone who has questions or wants to learn more about the program. You can register for the session here. We will post a recording of the information session and add the questions that were asked and answered to the Frequently Asked Questions page after the event. You can find more information about the application process here.
The deadline to submit an Expression of Interest is July 4, 2022 at 4 p.m.
