The Edge Gallery & Urban Art Centre’s Resident Artist Program provides an opportunity for dedicated clay, glass, textile & multi-media artists to involve themselves in professional development through hands-on exploration and research. Resident Artists will push their art in new directions in a dynamic, urban studio by immersing themselves in a project of their choice, while also building community through open studio visits. The Resident Artist will be available to members, students, and the community during their posted studio hours.
Interested artists should submit a completed application form (below), current CV, project proposal, and five to ten supporting images by email to our Resident Artist Committee at [email protected] with the subject: Resident Artist Program.
