Artist in Residence

ECAR logoThe Emmanuel College Art Department offers a six-week artists residency to four artists each summer from mid June to mid July. The residency supports a diverse group of artists, providing time and space for established and emerging artists to develop their work.

The Art Department specifically aims to award a residency to one individual from each of the four categories: ceramics, photography, printmaking and social practice. Fostering creative and artistic excellence, the residency also plays an important role in advancing the visual arts in the Emmanuel community.

The residency defines Emmanuel College as a leader in the visual arts and brings greater visibility to that leadership role beyond the confines of the College.

THE APPLICATION SUBMISSION PERIOD FOR THE 2023 RESIDENCY HAS CLOSED.
