Artists in Residence

Luminato’s Artists in Residence (AIR) is a year-round program to support local artists, offering them opportunities to envision their work on an expanded scale, re-charge their imaginations and build stronger networks within the arts community. The program runs three 7-week residencies (Summer 2020, Fall 2020 and Winter 2021) with weekly workshops, check-ins and sharing, which support and enhance participants’ work on individual projects. Participants will be involved in other Luminato initiatives throughout the year, and during the festival.

The inaugural cohort is made up of 10 established Black artists from the GTHA, and curated by Creative Producer Dian Marie Bridge. The intention is to bolster support for mid-career/senior artists, while connecting artists working in different mediums. The Fall cohort of AIR will be curated by Denise Bolduc and will focus on Indigenous artists.
