ABOUT THE PROGRAMS:
The Artist in Residence Program and Suncor Indigenous Artist Program follow the traditional residency model, in which professional artists spend time creating work inspired by the environment, culture and people of Wood Buffalo. Both resident artists mentor local artists with the Suncor Indigenous Artist prioritizing Indigenous Peoples in the rural communities. Resident artists engage with the community, through workshop opportunities and showcase their newly created work through a final event.
