2024-2025 Artist Residency with Port Saint John and Saint John Arts Centre: Applications open to Indigenous Artists of Wabanaki territory
Saint John - July 17, 2024
Port Saint John is excited to announce the third biennial artist residency for 2024-2025. The residency will include unique access to the Port as a means to inspire a new body of work, culminating in an exhibit at the sponsored Port Saint John Gallery at the Saint John Arts Centre in September of 2025. The works will explore the Port and/or the lands and waters where the Wolastoq (Saint John) River meets the Bay of Fundy.
Applicants must be an Indigenous person of Wabanaki territory; a selection committee, including Indigenous peer and Port Saint John representation, will assess and select the successful application.
The successful applicant will receive funding in the form of a $4000 stipend for the development of body of work, plus a $2000 CARFAC fee for the exhibit. The Saint John Arts Centre will provide exhibit support (documentation, exhibit labelling, promotion, etc.)
Submissions open on July 19, 2024 for artists to apply for the 2024-25 artist residency. Full details and forms are available via the Saint John Arts Centre: www.sjartscentre.ca / 506-633-4870 / director@sjartscentre.ca
