About This Opportunity
Studio H Canada International Artist Residencies offers a four‑week interdisciplinary residency program on the Pacific west coast of Canada, located in rural Metchosin, British Columbia. The February 7–March 6 2027 period welcomes writers, musicians, curators, multimedia and interdisciplinary artists from Canada and abroad. Applicants may work individually or in small collaborative groups and are encouraged to propose a community workshop or talk. The residency provides private bedrooms and bathrooms, shared studio space (~1000 sq ft), high‑speed internet, a range of equipment (recording gear, embroidery machine, printers, projectors), and access to a garden and forest. Mentorship is provided by founder Heidi Bergstrom, and artists receive support for local community engagement, including arrival pickup from Victoria International Airport or ferry terminals.
