Community centre associations and Park Board staff, with the support of artists experienced in community-engagement, select artists for the residencies.
If your project is awarded a residency, you will devote around 300 hours to research and develop your project, complete it with community members, and publish a blog and final report. Along the way, you will work with Park Board community arts programmers, community centre staff, the public, and local partners.
