Highlighting Northern BC's Talent
Call for Submissions
Omineca Arts Centre's residency program offers a paid platform for artists and performers, both pre-emerging and professional, from local, regional, and visiting backgrounds. We welcome applications from artists in all fields, including performance, music, literature, and visual arts, as well as collaborative and multidisciplinary projects. Submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis and generally scheduled within 3-6 months ahead.
While the program is open to all artists, priority may be given to equity-seeking individuals and those residing within the Omineca Region. Residencies provide dedicated time and space for artists to delve into their creative processes, work on projects, and while they typically last 1 month, they can vary in duration.

Current Artist in Residence
Kale Jeffery
Kale Jeffery (b. 1988) is a transgender (he/him) artist from British Columbia, Canada, whose work blends classical Japanese anime aesthetics with LGBTQ+ storytelling. Growing up with little queer representation in Western media, he found inspiration in anime and manga, which continue to shape his self-published series about the experiences of a transgender man. During his Artist in Residence month, he aims to showcase how Japanese media has influenced his art and offer insight into his creative process. As an artist with ADHD and a physical disability, he has developed accessible methods for working on large-scale projects and hopes to share these with others. Working primarily in digital illustration, Kale also explores acrylic painting, animation cels, and photography, bringing a diverse and personal touch to his work.
