Self-Directed Artist In Residence program is available to artists working on
creative projects anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months in length. The program is
intended to serve as a conduit between regional and national artistic cultures
by welcoming artists of any genre from across Canada to the North Okanagan to
live, create and commune. The artist stays at the Caetani Cultural Centre and
is invited to share workshops, readings and exhibitions with the North Okanagan
community. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">For more information please visit our website </span><u><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue"><a href="https://www.caetani.org">https://www.caetani.org</a></span></u><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"></span></p><p class="gmail-MsoBodyText" style="margin:0.45pt 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">Or contact the Caetani Centre at
