The concept of the Pedvale International Artist Residency is the integration of natural landscape, cultural heritage and art into a single environment. The Residency is surrounded by Pedvale Art Park. It is a place where a creative idea can both be developed and realized in accordance with the scenic environment and as a result can become an integral part of this environment. The artists participating in the Pedvale creative projects are encouraged to get inspiration from the surrounding area and to use the natural materials available there.
The territory of the Pedvale Art Park covers an area of almost 100 hectares with a diverse landscape – meadows, bushes, steep slopes, deep valleys, springs, streams and a winding river. It is an ideal place for artists from a variety of creative domains to express themselves by using the artists’ residencies and park areas for exhibitions, concerts, shows and for other artistic expressions that are accessible to the wider public.
ALCHEMY: an artist-led international residency where food, art, and community come together.
Since 2015, Alchemy has invited artists to connect, collaborate, and reflect in two unique Canadian settings: the Toronto Islands and Prince Edward County. Guided by four pillars—food, art, garden, and table—we document and share art making, meals, and conversation. At Alchemy, artists deepen their practices, exchange ideas, and engage with the people, communities and landscapes that host us.
A community setting for inquiry and discovery
Through community engagement and commitment to a collaborative process, we collect, tell, and document multiple stories showcasing what compels people to continue to create, grow, farm, and live in two unique communities.
Shared meals, readings and discussions probe the creative intersection of food & art in a community setting & help us better understand the magic & inspiration created by making & sharing art & food.
This residency is for those practicing visual arts, sculpture, photography, craft, food, performance art, writing music, and video i.
Coordinators: Claire M Tallarico, is a visual artist and chef whose social practice explores how the everyday activities of art & food making & sharing makes a difference to participants and communities. Tonia DiRisio is a visual artist and art and arts administrator. Her work has developed through ongoing investigations of the growing, making, preserving, celebrating, and sharing food.

Lighthouse Works is seeking applications for our 2026 fellowship season.
Our Fellowship Program is an artist-in-residence program that strives to support artists and writers working in the vanguard of their creative fields. The program supports artists working in a wide range of disciplines, but we are best able to accommodate visual artists, writers, choreographers, and composers. Fellowships are six weeks in length and occur year-round. They provide fellows with room, board, and studio space on Fishers Island, NY, along with a $1,750 stipend. Artistic excellence is the primary criterion for acceptance as a Lighthouse Works fellow.
Each fellow has a private bedroom and shares bathrooms, the kitchen, and living space at our residence. The house is always stocked with food (with dietary needs accommodated), and most nights the directors cook for—and eat dinner with—the fellows. Our studios are adjacent to Silver Eel Cove where our ferry arrives and departs the island. The studios are private, flooded with light, and face the ocean.
While in residence, our fellows’ primary obligation is to the solitary pursuit of their work but we do ask every fellow to participate in an artist talk on the first weekend of the fellowship and to open their studio for an afternoon at the session’s conclusion.
