The Scholarship includes the use of the studio cottage, and a stipend of $7,500 that is intended to cover travel expenses from Canada – Gotland (return). As a part of this program, upon leaving the island, it is customary for participants to donate a piece of their artwork which they made during their summer residency to the Canadian Collection at the Brucebo museum.
The deadline for applications is March 9, 2020.

Performance-based art practices are not eligible for consideration unless they are undertaken within the context of contemporary visual arts practices and form a minority of the applicant’s practice. The Scholarships are open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents only. The Scholarships are not renewable.
