The Residency Program
Hosting Artists from Around the World Since 1990
The Foundation’s principal interest has been in hosting painters of all genres in its residency program, though the Foundation has also hosted filmmakers, composers, musicians, sculptors, writers, poets, installation artists, architects, printmakers and curators.
The Foundation supports residencies of varying durations ranging from three calendar months to one year.
Most residencies culminate in exhibitions at the James Baird Gallery.
Invitation Only
The PCF operates on an invitation-only basis and invites artists to participate in its residency program on an ongoing basis.
THERE IS NO APPLICATION PROCESS.
The best way to bring your practice to our notice is through the recommendation of a previous resident.
There is no cost to the invited residents.
Our Space
The PCF provides equipped live/work space in exchange for the donation of a mutually acceptable work of art. Upon invitation the artist and the PCF agree on a suitable period for the artist’s residency.
The Foundation provides a formal letter of invitation to support applications for travel grants, visa’s etc.
Bursaries or Stipends
Award
Upon the passing of Brian Kipping (1953-2007) a painter, musician, friend and a supporter of our endeavours, his family and friends donated money to establish a fund to allow for an annual award of $500 to a deserving painter attending the Pouch Cove Foundation.
Awarded by the Directors of the Foundation each year without ceremony to assist in an individual artists finances.
Travel Funding
Starting in 2022 the Foundation has purchased airline flights in exchange for artwork from artists in need of travel funding. This project has a current annual budget of $5,000 and is targeted at artists from less developed countries.
Stipends
Starting in 2024 the Foundation has provided monthly stipends to individual painters on a negotiated basis prior to their arrival at the residency. These amounts are in exchange for artwork by the artist and are limited to the resources available to the Foundation.
