Résidence d'artistes « Alchemy »

Alchemy is an international artist-led residency exploring the common themes between artistic practice and the cooking and sharing of food in community settings. Since 2017, this residency has occurred in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada during the Harvest Season Alchemy organizes and curates site-specific projects by participating artists who are paired with local farms and wineries. Through community engagement and a commitment to a collaborative process, we collect, tell, and document multiple stories showcasing what compels people to continue to create, grow, farm, and live here. Alchemy Prince Edward County offers a winter residency by invitation only. Artists participating in our summer Residency are selected through an Open Call application process. We engage and encourage artists to continue work in progress or undertake new work inspired by the people and terroir of this dynamic rural agricultural setting. Participating artists create site-specific art and engage in community events and activities. Digital and in-person programming brings artists and the community together to explore, learn, make, and share lines of inquiry. Our Summer Programming takes place during August. Invited local and visiting artists continue work in progress and experiment with process and materiality techniques, either independently or in collaboration with others. Past and present Alchemists also offer free community drop-in workshops in collaboration with the Wellington Community Market. Designed for artists to focus on their practice in a collaborative studio environment, participating artists are encouraged to continue work in progress and experiment with process and materiality techniques, either independently or in collaboration with others.
