Artists in Residence
2025: Time to Create
This June, the Fredericton Arts Alliance’s 24th series of Artists in Residence will return to our casemate studio in Fredericton’s Historic Garrison District from June 23 to August 31, 2025.
Two artists at a time will work for a week in the Casemate studio with the opportunity to bounce ideas off each other, share insights, or just work on their own creation. Artists are expected to interact with members of the public to explain their processes and ideas, and they can sell their work. We will consider two-week residencies for artists who identify a more ambitious project.
We seek emerging and experienced artists in any media, including architecture, performance, sculpture, music, dance, electronic media, literary arts, visual art, fibre arts and fine craft. We encourage artists from diverse cultural backgrounds. Applications will be reviewed by an independent jury which will select the successful artists. The honorarium is $500 a week.
The artists will be selected by a jury to ensure a high standard of work. Frederictonians and visitors are encouraged to visit them and learn about their various media and the inspirations that drive their practice.
More information is available by email to president@frederictonartsalliance.ca. The Fredericton Arts Alliance will, as usual, try to mount an exhibition of work produced over the summer at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre in the fall. Participants will be asked to designate a piece for this exhibition.
The deadline to apply is Friday, May 16, 2025.
The FAA greatly appreciates the continuing support of the City of Fredericton and Downtown Fredericton in running this program, which provides opportunities for established and emerging artists and makes their art accessible to the visiting public.
