The Ontario Arts Council (OAC) and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) are partnering on an artist residency program. Artists from either Québec or Ontario can apply for up to $10,000 to cover a one-to-three month residency for a creation-based or professional development project in the province that isn’t their own.

The first deadline is October 5, 2007. Individual artists (no groups or collectives) working in all art forms may apply in either English or French. Candidates must meet eligibility criteria from their provincial arts council. Applications will be assessed on artistic merit; impact on the art form, on the artist or on the community; and the viability of the project.

Eligible costs include travel and accommodation; cost of living; and material costs related to the project. Applicants are responsible for finding their project partners in the host province.
