Description

The residency program at the Western Front offers artists the opportunity to produce new work, collaborate with like minded individuals, and to promote their work and ideology within the Vancouver arts community. Artists have access to our facilities for periods ranging from one month to one year. The program is aimed at artists who work in media/electronic genres, including interdisciplinary fields relating to performance and installation/exhibition. The studio facilities are focused on audio, video, and computer based production. The space offers spartan accomodation and an active environment of ongoing activities. Currently, the residency program includes both curated group projects and projects by solo artists. Future programming is usually developed a year or two in advance. Proposals are accepted on an ongoing basis. Artists projects are often placed in the context of larger productions, collaborations, and festivals. Proposals should include a detailed project description and a brief synopsis of the artist's previous work and general interests. Include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you would like your supporting material to be returned.
