Critical Mass: A Centre for Contemporary Art is a Port Hope-based not-for-profit arts organization dedicated to bringing contemporary art experiences to our community.
Critical Mass is offering artists a paid two-week or four-week residency in an historic mid 1850s former little Train Station this spring, summer or fall, funded by an Ontario Trillium SEED Grant.
Please note that this is not a live-in residency. Artists will be responsible for their own living arrangements, personal expenses, materials, and supplies.
The Artist-in-Residence opportunity provides socially-engaged artists from Canada and abroad with the time and space to generate new or bold ideas; showcase their creative practice; build their body of work and connect with individuals in the urban/rural small town community of Port Hope, Ontario.
Environment is the chosen curatorial theme for 2020 programming. Artists may explore this theme in terms of the natural and/or cultural environment as widely or as narrowly as their practice and interests dictate.
Selected artists will work with our Program Director and our program goals and requirements to deliver a program that reflects a balance of creative practice development, theme exploration, collaboration and community engagement.
Learn more about our 2020 Artist-in-Residence program in the Program Overview.
Critical Mass is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion and connectedness. We welcome the unique contributions that you bring.
The Little Station gallery and studio is a partially-accessible facility.
