Last updated: April 18, 2023

Professional artists have the opportunity to create in the tranquil and inspiring natural setting of Deer Lake Park in beautifully restored heritage homes and/or Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and Burnaby Art Gallery as part of the City of Burnaby’s Deer Lake Artist Residencies. 

Artists from all disciplines including ceramics are invited to apply online for this residency. Residencies may include short-term housing and/or studio use or production and can be as short as six days or as long as four months. The deadline to apply is May 2, 2023 at 5 pm.  

The intention of these residencies is to provide time and space for professional artists with emerging to established practices to create new work. Resident artists will work with the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts or the Burnaby Art Gallery to support artist-led community engagement projects relevant to each residency. Alongside housing, resident artists will have access to rehearsal spaces and studios as well as other resources to support their creative inquiry. 

Application Deadline: May 2, 2023 (Residencies will occur between March 1, 2024 to December 10, 2024)
