Thematic Residencies
Thematic residencies bring together up to 18 artists to work around a specific theme with the help of a facilitator/curator. Participants explore new modes of thought in a variety of collaborative settings including studio work, formal lectures, group discussions and outdoor retreats. Thematic residencies encourage dialogue and discovery between disparate practices, and establish new connections.
Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts hosts up to 19 Thematic programs a year. Past programs include: MOTHRA A Parent Artist Project, Alchemy, Awakening, Black August, Through the Wilderness, Walking + Art, Feminist Photography Group, Put Your Roots Down and Luminous Bodies.
