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.
We are currently considering ways to improve the program and do not anticipate a new intake until mid-2027 at the earliest. We do not maintain a waitlist as this is a juried program.
