Share your experience
Before we open applications for this new role, the first step is gathering community feedback.
We want to hear directly from artists who have been an ARTicipate recipient, applicant, or have previously engaged with the Project Grant program so that this role is shaped by real experiences, not assumptions.
Why your feedback matters
This feedback process is focused on understanding:
Where barriers exist in the current ARTicipate model
What challenges applicants and recipients continue to face
What kinds of support would make the biggest difference moving forward
Your input will directly inform the priorities, focus, and responsibilities of the Artist in Residence role.
What we’ve heard so far
We recently held a consultation session with Resident Art Partners and past ARTicipate recipients, where we gathered early insights and reflections on the program.
Read the key takeaways from that conversation here.
What happens next
All feedback collected will be reviewed and used to help shape the Artist in Residence in ARTicipate role, including its focus areas and how it will support artists within the program. This input will also inform broader improvements to ARTicipate as a whole.
More information about the Artist in Residence in ARTicipate, including role details and how to apply, will be shared soon.
