Craft. Create.
Summer Residency

During the summer season, Craft Nova Scotia’s Centre for Craft invites emerging craft artists to participate in a two-month creation residency. Participants in this program are granted access to the studio of their chosen medium, where they will have the freedom to work independently on a project. Additionally, they will collaborate to plan and install a group exhibition at the Mary E. Black Gallery,  showcasing the works created during this time. 

Craft Nova Scotia’s Centre for Craft welcomes proposals for our ceramic, jewellery, weaving and woodworking studios. Artists working in paper, fibre, and other craft-based interdisciplinary practices that need space or access to a kitchen facility are encouraged to apply for a residency in our multipurpose studio.

Craft Nova Scotia is not currently accepting applications for our  residency programs. Please check back in 2026 when we launch the next call for applications.
