Ontario Culture Days - 2022 Creatives in Residence

2022 Creatives in Residence

Ontario Culture Days are excited to welcome its third lineup of residents in the 2022 Creatives in Residence program. Since launching the residency in 2020, the program has become a key component of the Ontario Culture Days Festival showcasing the vibrancy of the Ontario arts and culture community.

The residents will work in communities across Ontario to explore themes of access (or lack thereof) to resources such as food, community space, local history and technology, all of which have been heightened issues since the start of the pandemic in 2020. The creatives will focus on community collaboration with their projects culminating in community-based activities and exhibits presented during the 2022 fall festival.
