What exactly is a residency and what is the benefit of participating in one? What is there to gain? How does it work financially?
As an artist, designer, writer, curator and/or creative person residencies provide great opportunities to take you out of your normal day to day routine as they provide space – both mentally and physically – to focus on your practice and creative work. Residencies can take many forms, vary in duration, and differ in terms of eligibility, medium specificity, expected outcome and their financial structures.
Xpace will be hosting a discussion and information session to discuss our Summer Residency Program, hosted annually at Artscape Gibraltar Point on the Toronto Island, as well as holding a more broad conversation about residencies as we will discuss how, where, when and why to apply.
Information about Xpace’s Residency Program can be found at: http://www.xpace.info/submissions/call-for-submissions-summer-residency/
This workshop will be taught based on our experiences (Emily Gove, Director, and Brette Gabel and Adrienne Crossman, Programming Coordinators) as artists, curators and residency facilitators, as well as our respective positions at Xpace Cultural Centre.
Guest speakers will be announced shortly.
The workshop is free and open to anyone, but please RSVP to adrienne@xpace.info to reserve your spot.
