Open Call: Ceramic, Glass, and Enamel Arts TD Residency for Black, Indigenous, and Underrepresented Peoples and Communities

Ceramic, Glass, and Enamel Arts TD Residency

For Black, Indigenous, and Underrepresented Peoples and Communities

The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is excited to re-launch our artist-in-residence program with a focus on artists who are Black, Indigenous, and/or who identify as Underrepresented Peoples/Communities with the support of TD Bank Group. The TD Residency will enable two emerging artists to undertake a fully funded 8-week residency at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery in Waterloo, Ontario each year. Residents will be equipped with a working studio space, an honorarium, materials, and mentorship as they complete a body of work. Artists-in-residence will also engage the local community through public programs at the Gallery and produce digital content to be shared across the country.

Artists are eligible to work in ceramics, fused glass, stained glass, or vitreous enamel. Artists must work in the studio 35 hours per week for a period of 8 weeks. One residency will be offered Fall 2024 (roughly October-December) and one residency in Winter 2025 (roughly February-April). Each selected resident will receive an honorarium of $6,500 for travel and living expenses and will have access to a budget of $500 for materials and specialized tools. During the residency, the selected artist will be expected to spend approximately 10 hours per week supporting the Gallery through studio operations, workshops, and other relevant duties. Following completion of the residency, the artist’s work may be presented in a public display at the Gallery or offered for sale in the Gallery Shop and Shop Online (standard consignment agreement applies).
