These six-week project-based residencies are intended to offer curatorial opportunities to a wide range of professional experience(s) and approaches. Ideas addressing social, political, cultural and critical issues outside of commercial and/or conventional art industry practices will be a priority, in keeping with the gallery's mandate. This new residency program aims to increase support to local and emerging practices by welcoming submissions from a diverse pool of candidates that may include: practicing artists, recent graduates of contemporary art related programmes and professionally recognized curators.
