Take advantage of our facilities and community to meet your career goals and thrive as a working artist.
Full-time residencies are one-year long and can be renewed for up to three years, with five disciplines to choose from: Design, Glass, Metal/Jewellery, Ceramics and Textiles. Interviews will be held virtually in April and May. We will not be accepting summer residency applications for 2021.
