Call for Artists: Artists in Gwaii Haanas Residency 2017

Artists in Gwaii Haanas is an annual residency program, presented by the 
Haida Gwaii Museum and Parks Canada, with the goal of connecting artists 
to Gwaii Haanas—and through these artists, connect Gwaii Haanas to 
Canada and the greater world.

In July 2017, three artists will spend 5-10 days immersed in travel 
throughout the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine 
Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site. Based at a remote 
field-camp, artists will be guided by Gwaii Haanas staff as they embark 
on day-trips throughout the region to conduct artistic research through 
exploration, photography, sketching, writing and contemplation. 
Breathtaking vistas, unique interactions with culture and nature, and 
inspirational conversation with Gwaii Haanas staff, the Haida Gwaii 
Watchmen and others in the area are sure to inspire and inform their 
artistic practice.

Following their travels in Gwaii Haanas, the artists will spend an 
additional 1-2 weeks at the Haida Gwaii Museum where they will practice 
their art, interact with visitors and provide some public programming. 
Lastly, artists will create a body of work inspired by their time in 
Gwaii Haanas, to be exhibited in a group exhibition at the Haida Gwaii 
Museum. One of their pieces will be donated to the Artists in Gwaii 
Haanas permanent collection.
