The Artist in Residence program is part of Workman Arts’ Rendezvous with Madness Festival and is in collaboration with Tangled Art + Disability. By providing time and resources, we believe this can support the development of a body of work to become exhibition ready for a solo show at the Tangled Art + Disability gallery vitrine space.
This year will be dedicated to the theme “Complexities of Care“. In addition to the vitrines space, the selected artist is encouraged to propose ideas to use and activate the Library shared space at Tangled Art + Disability or hold public program events.
DEADLINES: September 30, 2026 and January 15, 2027 at 1 p.m. ET
Workman Arts is a recommender for the Ontario Arts Council’s (OAC) Exhibition Assistance Grants, a program which provides funding for presentation costs for confirmed exhibitions to artists living in Ontario. The minimum grant awarded is $500 and the maximum is $2,000.
We’re hoping to accumulate a solid list of skilled installers that we can work with for Being Scene/Rendezvous with Madness.
We are currently offering several professional development support programs to help artists professionalize their artistic practice. Each program is by appointment with a mentor.
Limited spaces available. Some programs may require an application.
