The Clark Centre for the Arts’ Artist Residency program provides professional Toronto artists with opportunities to think, experiment, work and create in an artistic lakeside yet urban environment.
Located inside Guild Park and Gardens, the Clark Centre for the Arts is a stunning new cultural facility that houses specialized art studios and gallery spaces that Toronto residents and visitors can enjoy year-round. The Centre provides rental opportunities and delivers close to 85 accessible arts programs annually, including art courses, workshops and talks. Guild Park and Gardens is a unique 88-acre site on the Scarborough Bluffs that includes forests, shoreline and a collection of architectural fragments, sculptures and buildings.
Applications are now being accepted for two artist-in-residence positions in 2025, concluding with a one-month exhibition in Gallery 191.
