The Omineca Arts Centre is seeking applications for its Artist in Residency program to support artists who live in the central interior region of B.C.
There are many underrepresented artists in all the arts disciplines who could use the opportunity to further develop and advance their work through an artist in residence program. These artists deserve the opportunity to show their work and engage with a gallery to raise awareness and gain access to other art opportunities they may not be aware of.
The centre is seeking artists of all skill levels in varied disciplines with diverse backgrounds including emerging artists who have never presented their work, artists who want to participate collaboratively, or professional artists as well.
