The Point Artist-Run Centre (PARC) is launching its Artist Residency program in 2024. Artists working in various disciplines can apply for a 4-6 week residency at the beautifully restored heritage cabin on the shore of Alta Lake adjacent to the Point Lodge. The goal is to be able to provide the artist time, space & resources to explore and focus on their craft. Also, providing some sort of community enrichment through their work. 

Who: The program is open to emerging and professional artists, practicing in various artistic disciplines. 

What: A project based residency that offers the artist a rent-free stay at the lodge for the duration of the residency. We are also offering an honorarium of $600 - $900 (depending on length) for living expenses and resources during that time. The artist will also offer a community project related to their artistic practice during their residency. Some examples include workshops, exhibiting their work, or donation of work for a fundraiser. We are open to ideas!

When: We are offering two blocks of 4-6 weeks for the dates of: January 15 - February 26, 2024 (application deadline Dec. 21) March 11 - April 22, 2024 (application deadline February 1)

Where: The Point Artist Run Centre is located at 5678 Alta Lake Rd, Whistler, BC V8E 0C3. We are accessible by car & bike (hopefully transit bus soon). There is a parking lot with a set of stairs leading to the cabin (Please note the cabin is not wheelchair accessible). Expect winter conditions throughout the stay, which could include snow shoveling. 

Why: PARC’s mission is to cultivate an affordable, vibrant and creative environment that incubates authentic artistic activity for artists to perform, learn and interact with the community through their work.

Please reach out if you have any questions including inquiries about possible ideas about the community project or resources needed. Let’s collaborate!
