Residencies
OAC’s Residency programs were developed to promote professional development and the exchange of artistic views across geographical boundaries. The goal of these programs is to foster ties between artists and communities in Canada and across the world.
In fulfilling its mandate, the OAC serves one of the most diverse cultural, racial, linguistic and Aboriginal populations in Canada. Through its programs and services, the OAC supports artists, organizations and communities across Ontario, and welcomes all forms of artistic expression and practice.
- Ontario-Quebec Artist Residencies provide funding to Ontario artists who wish to work in Quebec for one to three months. Grants cover travel, accommodation and living expenses, personal insurance and the costs of purchasing, transporting and insuring the materials required to carry out the project.
- The National and International Residency program supports artists through periods of research, exploration, regeneration and rejuvenation and provides access to new cultural surroundings outside Ontario and Quebec for one to three months. Projects may include a work plan with an experienced mentor. Grants cover travel, accommodation and living expenses, personal insurance, but not the costs of purchasing, transporting and insuring other persons or materials required to carry out the project.
