Since 1995, the Artist Studio Award program has provided up to 7 studio spaces to support artists and their work at low or no cost over 3 to 4 year terms. The program is one of many programs, awards and services we offer to advance the vision and goals of:
- Making Space for Arts and Culture PDF file (11 MB), Vancouver’s 10 year cultural infrastructure plan, which this is part of.
- Culture|Shift: Blanketing the City in Arts and Culture PDF file (12 MB), our 2020-2029 culture plan. As part of this plan, there is a priority to support affordable non-profit artist spaces and artist housing.
All studios are currently occupied by local artists.
Starting later in 2024, staff will be considering ways to improve the program and do not anticipate a new intake prior to 2026. There are also new studios under development PDF file (1.8 MB).
