The residency

A small-scale residency for artists seeking focused time for research and creation on Grand Manan.

SeCo offers focused time for independent projects, with opportunities to engage with the island’s landscapes, communities, archives, and working environments.

We plan to welcome one or two artists in summer 2027. As living and working spaces and other infrastructure develop, we will be able to host more artists at the same time.

Research and experimentation are welcome; a finished exhibition is not a prerequisite for a worthwhile project.

Applications are not open yet. Dates, eligibility, facilities, fees, funding, and access arrangements will be confirmed with the call.

Please wait for those details before making travel plans.
