Shakaat Artist Residency Program

2025 Application

Shakaat Artist Residency will open April 7th 2025. 

Shakaat Artist Residency is an annual community based Artist-in-Residence program hosted the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre. The aim of this program is to encourage, support, and showcase Indigenous artists.

Artists set up a studio for three-week periods from July to September where they provide demonstrations to the public and work on personal projects. At the end of the year, there is a curated exhibit showcasing artists’ creations around a central theme.

Artists will deliver public workshops sharing their skills and knowledge. Keep your eyes on our Facebook and Instagram for up-to-date information regarding workshops and who is currently participating in the residency!
