Application deadline: November 20, 2024
Residency dates:

Overview
The Leighton Artist Studios comprise nine distinct studios suitable for individual artists working in the following disciplines:
- writing for stage and screen
- composing and songwriting
- literary arts
- visual arts
- critical and curatorial writing
- interdisciplinary practices not requiring technical support or equipment rental.
A tenth studio, the Painter House, is suitable for groups of two to ten artists working collaboratively. Formal and informal collectives, ensembles, inter-disciplinary collaborators and Indigenous cultural groups are invited to apply for residencies at the Painter House.
Leighton Studio residencies are geared to professional artists working on major research-creation projects or new bodies of work. The program is best suited to artists who are self-motivated, focused, and wanting time and space for introspection.
Projects must fit within one of the artistic disciplines outlined above. The application must include a clearly articulated project description and a resume that demonstrates a strong record of accomplishment. Applications are externally adjudicated. Artists are selected on the basis of artistic merit. The program is highly competitive given the limited number of studios available.
The Leighton Artist Studios do not provide access to external specialized production facilities or technical support.
