Artist Residencies

saint benedict’s table is a community that values active participation in the arts. From our very beginning in 2004, we have sought to engage with the arts in a variety of ways, including in our weekly worship, special events such as art exhibits and concerts, as well as in the support of an artist residency and of the production of new works of art created by members of our community.

As we begin a new season together at saint benedict’s table, we once again look to our community of makers to help us articulate who we are and what it means to worship together.  The Artist in Residence (AIR) program looks a bit different this year, reflecting where we currently are and who we have been called to be.  

This may reflect the number of artists or projects and their timelines that AIR supports. However, we are also hoping it can inspire you to help us imagine how we creatively worship together. We are a community rooted in an ancient future...how are you inspired by deeply rooted ways of knowing within this time of moving forward? How can we imagine our futures?  

We are open to a wealth of ideas for the 2023-24 artist residencies and we’re thinking of big, broad ideas full of inspiration. Concepts like product/process; care/community; collaboration/contemplation/exhibition… what can you imagine? Creative expression in any and all mediums are welcome.  Let’s embark on this new chapter with an abundance of creative potential and growth! 

Please review the application details, below. Applications are due by midnight April 19 to arts@stbenedictstable.ca.
