Amazing Residency Opportunity in Harrison Hotsprings, BC

The Kent Harrison Arts Council

Visual Artist / Writer in Residence

Program Dates: September 1st 2009 – August 31st 2010

I am the current resident. This has been an amazing opportunity so I would like the word to get out there. We have had few applications so far….

Kent Harrison Arts Council is a not for profit organization, nurturing and supporting local arts and culture in the region for over 30 years. The arts council operates the Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison Hot Springs, BC. We are currently seeking writers or visual artists for a one year artist residency. The art gallery and artist residence are located on the shore of beautiful Harrison Lake, 1 ½ hours east of Vancouver.

The residency provides an unfurnished 2 bedroom suite with adjoining studio space on second floor of Ranger Station Art Gallery in exchange for approximately 8 hours a week public art gallery work. Gallery duties are fulfilled on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from February to November. In addition to live-in studio space, the artist in residence presents an annual art exhibit of their own work or two annual Writers workshops.

Submission Requirements:
This residency is ideally suited to visual artists and writers, although all artists are encouraged to contact us about their interest.

If an inspirational natural setting, public art gallery work experience and self-directed, independent studio practice is of interest to you,
