The John Willard Fibre Arts Residency celebrates the remarkable life and art of John Willard. The program continues the legacy of his career as a fibre artist and teacher. The Residency Fund enables artists access to the AGB textile studios including, Rug Hooking, Handweaving and Spinning, and the Fibre Arts, to develop a new body of work for a solo exhibition the following year in the RBC Gallery at the Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB). Previous recipients are Karen Cummings (2015), Chandra Rice (2016) and Line Dufour (2018)
