Artist Residency Programs

The Caetani Centre offers artists and writers creative living and working spaces in an independent community atmosphere for self-directed residencies, providing time, support and room for creativity. Self-directed residencies vary from 3-day intensives, to up to 3 months to suit the goals and needs of the applicant. Longer terms may be negotiated, if space allows. The Caetani Artist-in-Residency Program is open to both emerging and established artists and creatives in all artistic fields and mediums: installation, painting, drawing, writing, photography, digital media, printmaking, etc. We are also open to curators, cultural researchers, musicians, performers, filmmakers and other creators in need of a space to brainstorm, research and generate ideas. Ceramic artists can combine a self-directed residency with a clay drop-in studio membership at the Vernon Community Arts Centre, which is walking distance from the Caetani Centre. A printmaking, glass and woodworking studio are also available at the arts centre. The ideal candidate will have invested themselves in training, be self-directed, and able to work independently. Preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to artistic excellence as well as an interest in experimentation and innovation in artistic and creative mediums. This is not a funded residency. Fees do apply. We are happy to provide letters of support for artists seeking grants or sponsorship. No children under the age of 19 or pets are allowed in the residency space.
