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.
