Harbourfront Centre Residency Program

Application Deadline: March 14th, 2025 5pm EST

Our Craft and Design Studio is the only career-oriented program and facility available in Canada offering an artist-in-residency in contemporary craft and design. Functioning as a training centre and incubator the Studio relies on a self-directed learning ethos, all with the goal of championing emerging Canadian artists.

The Studio is open to post-graduates (or individuals with equivalency training) who demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of either Textiles, Glass, Ceramics, or Metal/Jewellery. Offering a creative community, professional development, mentorship and more, our goal is to empower the next generation of talent in craft and design.

Craft & Design offers, when available, residencies in five disciplines:

  • Ceramics
    Design
    Glass
    Metal/Jewellery
    Textiles

Terms of Residency:

Annual – One-year contract for recent* graduates beginning in June or September. Annual contracts may be renewed at the discretion of Harbourfront Centre for up to three years.

*Recent is defined as having graduated within the last five years.

Summer – Three-month scholarship contract for full-time Glass, Textiles or Metal/Jewellery students. Contracts begin on June 1 and end on August 31. Only students returning full-time to an educational institute may apply.
