Future residencies
Planning an application
Applications are not open yet. If you are considering SeCo, start with a question you want to pursue on Grand Manan and why being here matters to the work.
Place and project
Think about the island’s landscape, histories, ecology, labour, archives, or communities. What would you research or make, and what do you still need to learn?
A workable stay
Consider the time, materials, travel, equipment, and access support your project would need. Keep the scope realistic for a small residency.
Your practice
Gather a short artist statement, a current CV, and documentation that helps us understand your work.
The future call will confirm eligibility, dates, facilities, funding, and submission requirements. Please wait for that call before applying or making travel plans.
