ABOUT THE
GIBRLATAR POINT INTERNATIONAL ARTIST RESIDENCY
PROGRAM
The Gibraltar Point Residency transcends political,
aesthetic and geographic boundaries, welcomes diversity
and provides a spawning ground for unique cultural
alliances. The program is open to Canadian and
international artists of all disciplines who are engaged
in the research, development or creation of work.
Emerging, mid-career and established professional artists
are invited to apply. Participants in the residency
program receive accommodation, a private work studio and
all meals at no cost. Travel and material costs are the
responsibility of participating artists.
The residency
program aims to further the professional
development of artists by: enabling the creation and
production of new work; fostering an exchange of ideas and
influences; encouraging the sharing of expertise;
inspiring new works of art and creative collaborations;
and building relationships between artists working in
different media. The program is designed and managed by
Artscape and takes place for a single 30-day term each
calendar year at the Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts
on Toronto Island.
ABOUT THE
GIBRALTAR POINT CENTRE FOR THE ARTS AND TORONTO
ISLAND
Situated on the south-western beachfront of Toronto
Island, The Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts owes its
name to its location marked by Toronto's oldest landmark -
the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, which was erected in
1808. Operated by Artscape, this 30,000 square foot
unique facility provides permanent studio space to more
than a dozen artists and a Retreat Centre, which can be
rented for a variety of functions. In addition to hosting
the Residency Program, the Gibraltar Point Centre for the
Arts features Artscape Lodge; a short-term rental service
with accommodation and work studios for up to 13 visiting
artists.
Toronto Island is
a peaceful 230-hectare natural park in
Toronto's harbour, a short 15-minute ferry ride from the
thriving downtown core of Canada¡¯s cultural capital. The
Island is part of the Carolinian Zone which includes flora
and fauna not found anywhere else in Canada. Naturalized
areas and wildlife reserves make it a popular stopover
point for southern song birds. The Island is also home to
approximately 800 individuals whose remarkable community
boasts one of the highest per capita populations of
artists in Canada and is the largest urban car-free
community in North America.

Amsterdam, The Netherland
Rijksakademie Research Residency call for entries.
The Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam is a working and meeting place for young professional artists from all over the world. Fifty resident artists work for one or two years on research, projects and production. Such a work period is most valuable after three to five years of professional experience, after (the last) art education.
Concentration on the work, reflection and discussion are central to the residency.
Residents are supported on an artistic, technical and theoretical level by internationally recognized artists, art critics, curators and other advisors. Technical specialists advise on research, experiment and production; technical facilities with a broad range are at hand.
Resident artists pursue all major contemporary visual art disciplines: painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, film, sound and new media, and can link up with other disciplines such as architecture, theatre, music, dance, literature and film.
Applying
The Rijksakademie has some fifty studios. Each year approximately twenty-five artists are selected for a residency. Artists can apply for the Residency 2007 (January – December) through the online application form.
The deadline for application is 1 February 2006.
