ABOUT US
Tofte Lake Center (TLC) is a non-profit organization that provides residencies for artists who crave dedicated time to work on their projects, for creatives who seek individual growth through guided workshops or retreats, for arts organizations that want to make time to re/focus on their goals or mission, for arts leaders to gather to exchange ideas with colleagues in their field. TLC is on a pristine lake near Ely, Minnesota, and adjacent to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. 

MISSION 
We're committed to supporting artists by providing a nurturing experience rooted in nature where artists of all disciplines and backgrounds feel safe to take a break from the "work" of art to play, feel inspired, and be rejuvenated.

VISION 
We envision an interconnected world in harmony with nature, where artists are supported and celebrated and where taking a break is recognized as integral to the creative process.

Alchemy has been offering artist residencies and community-engaged programming on the Toronto Islands and in rural Prince Edward County (PEC), Ontario, Canada since 2015. 

Alchemy's artist-led initiatives engage and encourage artists to continue work in progress or undertake new work inspired by and in collaboration with communities in both dynamic urban and rural settings. Selected artists are paired with local farms and wineries during our summer residency in Prince Edward Country and engage closely with members of the Island creative community during our Spring residency on the Toronto Islands. Cornerstones  of our programming are shared suppers and community engaged initiatives. 

Alchemy is built on four pillars: art, food, farm & community.
