residency open call for artists based in canada

This residency open call is for an emerging or mid-career artist based in Canada. The eleven-week, fully funded residency will take place at Gasworks in London from 7 July to 22 September 2026.

Our residencies programme supports professional development, cultural exchange, and artistic experimentation. We host up to twenty residencies each year, bringing artists from all over the world to London. All our residencies are self-led, nonprescriptive and process-based; they are about enabling artists to research and develop new work, engage with the city, and build their networks.

We provide administrative, pastoral, and curatorial support throughout the residency, but we expect residents to be self-motivated, and to lead on the research and production of their own work, during their time with us.

This residency is supported by B Street Collaborative in collaboration with The Canadian Art Foundation.
