Residency to Commence November 1, 2013

Harcourt House Artist Run Centre is now accepting submissions for our 2013/2014 Artist in Residence (AIR) to commence November 1, 2013. Awarded to artists annually through a peer jury selection process, this program is committed to providing one artist with a year-long, dedicated studio environment at Harcourt House Artist Run Centre to research, develop and exhibit new work. This program allows for the Artist in Residence to engage and interact with the local visual arts community, encouraging shared ideas, expression and discourse.

This one-year residency includes a studio space, access to our art education courses and facilities, teaching opportunities and a $150 monthly art supply stipend. The AIR will be given a solo exhibition in the centre’s Main Gallery at the end of the one-year term to conclude their residency. The AIR will receive CAR/FAC fees for the presentation of this final exhibition.

We invite artists who are Canadian residents to submit a proposal before May 31, 2013.  All disciplines are encouraged to apply. Applicants will be selected by the quality of work submitted, their demonstration of commitment to serious practice, community engagement and how the residency will meet their objectives at this crucial juncture in the development of their practice.
