Learn more at the application information session on January 29
Calling all artists! The City of Guelph invites artists and art collectives (collaborations by two or more artists) to submit Expressions of Interest for the 2025 Artist-in-Residence program. This year’s program will award one project with a residency and a $10,000 project budget. The submission deadline for Expressions of Interest is 11:59 p.m. on February 12. Artists should note this is not a live-in residency.
The successful artist or art collective will be chosen through a two-phase selection process. In phase one, submitted Expressions of Interest will be used to make a shortlist of applicants for phase two by evaluating artists on their creative integrity and experience, vision for inclusive community involvement, and ability to deliver high-quality work on time and on budget. Register for an online information session, hosted on January 29 at 6 p.m., to learn more about the program and application best practices.
Phase two is a Request for Proposal. Artists shortlisted during phase one will be invited to develop their concept proposals and participate in a one-on-one information session via video or phone call. Shortlisted artists will receive a $500 honorarium for their second submission.
