Deadline: 01-Feb-23
The Arts Council Wood Buffalo is currently seeking applications for its Artist in Residence Program to follow the traditional residency model, in which non-local or local professional artists spend time creating work inspired by the environment, culture and people of Wood Buffalo.
These Resident artists will engage with the community in a variety of ways, showcase their work through a final event and, most importantly, spend time mentoring a selected group of emerging, established and professional artists from this area.
The Suncor Indigenous Artist Program is structured the same as the Artist in Residence program. The only difference is that the artist applying for the Suncor Indigenous Artist in Residence program must be an Indigenous artist living in Canada. This artist will also have the opportunity to work with urban and rural Indigenous peoples as a mentor.
Programs
- Artist in Residence Program
- This stream follows the traditional residency model in which non-local or local professional artists will spend 3 weeks creating art and engaging with the community through art. Opportunities include showcase events or performances and, most importantly, spending time mentoring a select group of emerging, established and professional artists from the same artistic discipline.
- Suncor Indigenous Artist Program
- Much like the Artist in Residence program, this stream follows the traditional residency model and is based on the same idea of creating art and engaging with the community through art. However, this stream will support an Indigenous artist living in Canada. This artist will have the opportunity to work with urban and rural Indigenous peoples as a mentor.
Which artforms are supported through this program?
- Arts Council Wood Buffalo welcomes any and all artforms.
- These artforms can include (but is not limited to): craft, dance, literary arts, media, music, performing arts or visual arts.
Criteria
- This program is designed to celebrate and develop Indigenous artists. Therefore, they will only accept applications from Indigenous artists living in Canada.
- However, if you are interested in participating in a residency, they encourage you to apply for the Artist in Residence stream.
