Mackie Lake House

Artist-in-Residence Program

2013

 

 

The Mackie Lake House Foundation and Vernon Public Art Gallery are pleased
to announce the 2013 Mackie Lake House Artist-in-Residence program. The
residency is designed to offer established Canadian artists solitude and
time to create. The residency includes a two-week stay at the Historic 1910
Mackie Lake House in Coldstream, BC, and a $1000 honorarium. Artists are
responsible for their own transportation, food, communications and supplies.

 

The purpose of the Artist-in-Residence program is to foster the discourse
and production of visual arts by providing artists a place to pursue their
artistic discipline in a tranquil location away from their normal busy life.
A work of art inspired by the location and produced during the Residency
will be donated to the Foundation to be displayed in the House. The artist
will grant rights for the image to be reproduced as cards or small prints
with full credit given to the artist.  

 

History

The Artist-in-Residence Program is made possible through the generosity of
Patrick (Paddy) Fylton Mackie who established and funded the Mackie Lake
House Foundation. Patrick Mackie was a patron of the arts and a gifted
artist in his own right and the Artist-in-Residence Program was established
in his memory. Since the  Artist-in-Residence Program began in 2010 the
participating artists have been: Angie Francis, Edie McIntyre, and Joyce
Devlin.  In 2012 the Vernon Public Art Gallery held an exhibition and an
Artist Talk featuring our Artist-in-Residence.  This led to a partnership
where the Mackie Lake House offers the artist the space and time to create,
and the Vernon Public Art Gallery offers the artist exhibition space and if
needed, working space.

Obligations

Talk at the Vernon Public Art Gallery and an Artist's Reception held at
Mackie Lake House.
