Get matched →WEDGE RESIDENCY is a new program created by the Contemporary Art Gallery (CAG) and Ground Floor for early-emerging artists in Vancouver. An early-emerging artist is broadly defined as someone of any age with minimal experience or access to opportunities within arts institutions who demonstrates commitment to their practice and desire to engage with a larger community. This may include artists, curators, writers, community-based practitioners, or creatives in any field.
Successful applicants will be awarded residencies of 4-6 weeks in CAG's 325-square-foot North Gallery. Access to the space is available seven days a week from 10am to 6pm, with Thursday evenings until 8pm on request.
The residency space is semi-private, with staff requiring occasional access to an adjoining space. Ceiling heights are 8′. The residency space and adjacent washroom are wheelchair accessible. The CAG library space and kitchenette are on an upper level with no elevator access. The space is child-friendly. Given limited ventilation and proximity to CAG's galleries, preference will be given to applicants whose work does not involve hazardous materials, a need for ventilation, or loud noise.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Applications are accepted in various formats, including written, audio-visual, and via interview. Support in the application process is available.
