The goal of this residency is to amplify the voices of community-based artists by providing free printmaking materials, training, and studio space at Wachiay Studio in K’ómoks Territories Courtenay, B.C.

Artists-in-residence will have a week of studio time to create projects of their choice! Experience printing on paper, fabric, or any other flat surface. Each week of residency will see two artists from across Canada sharing the studio. We are looking for eight artists for 2026!
