Open to visual and interdisciplinary artists at any stage of their art practice (including student artists), the residency aims to facilitate both informal exchanges and more formal critical discussions towards developing new works or projects. Artists will be organized into groups of three, while also participating in full-group programming. The smaller group format will enable extensive ongoing dialogue, including monthly crits. The larger group format will allow all participants to engage in two full-group crits and presentations with virtually-visiting artists, curators and cultural workers. In the spirit of horizontal mentorship, artists are also encouraged to self-organize occasions for skill-sharing and collaborative exchanges. 

The 2020 artists-in-residence were: Michelle Bunton, William Carroll, Francisco Corbett, Grace Katie Dixon, Brian Hoad, Deena Jacobs, Jean Jamieson-Hanes, Rafael MacDonald. Their exhibition was held at Union Gallery in October and Modern Fuel’s Window Gallery from October to December 2021.
