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.

360 XOCHI QUETZAL is an Artist & Writers Residency located on magical Lake Chapala, Mexico. Our aim at 360 Xochi Quetzal is to support artists, writers and performers who would benefit from having uninterrupted time to devote to their creativity. By providing affordable live/work rentals to visiting artists, we hope that our residents can make artistic progress without the stress and distractions of daily life.

We offer a community of year round creatives, opportunities for feedback and fellowship and time to focus on your projects, planning, ideas and inner work. We believe that Art Saves Lives. When artists are free to unleash their creativity, the ripples make the world a better place.
