ALCHEMY ARTIST RESIDENCY, founded in 2015, is an artist-led residency dedicated to site-inspired artmaking and community engagement.
Alchemy brings together artists and makers to connect, collaborate, and reflect in two distinctive Canadian settings: Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts on the Toronto Islands and rural Prince Edward County, Ontario. Guided by four pillars—food, art, garden, and table—we make, document, and share art, meals, and conversation. At Alchemy, artists deepen their practices, exchange ideas, and engage with the people, communities, and landscapes that host us.
All of our Residency opportunities are artist-led and grounded in extended studio time, private reflection, shared meals, and collective living. Visiting artists live, work, and collaborate in settings where cooking, eating, conversation, and studio practice shape daily life. Alchemy welcomes artists who value working within a temporary community and are curious about process and materiality in both artistic and culinary practices.
