Call to Artists for Expressions of Interest
The City of Guelph invites artists and art collectives (collaborations between two or more artists) to submit Expressions of Interest for the 2025 Artist-in-Residence (AiR) program.
AiR is an incubator for artistic creation, inspiration and community connections. This program invites artists (including literary, media, performance, visual, etc.) to consider how various members of the community might witness, contribute to, engage with, and/or participate in their art. The residency prioritizes projects that creatively and accessibly animate public spaces while engaging with the Guelph community in new and inclusive ways.
One AiR project will be awarded in 2025. Artists practicing in all mediums and modes of expression are encouraged to apply. Artists are encouraged to create new work, to advance work-in-process, or to re-imagine past work through the residency. They must engage the community through their work and include an end-of-project event during Guelph Culture Days. View eligibility requirements.
There are two stages in the AiR selection process: (1) Call for Expressions of Interest; and (2) Request for Proposals from short-listed candidates. View the full application requirements and evaluation criteria.
Deadline is Feb 12, more info here!
