ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM

Lawnya Vawnya’s Artist-in-Residence program offers a week-long residency each March to two Newfoundland and Labrador musicians/groups: one from the East Coast and one from the West Coast. These independent residencies can be remote or on-site at LV HQ or the Rotary Arts Centre in Corner Brook.

 

The program aims to provide artists with dedicated time and space to research, develop, and produce new or ongoing musical material. Each chosen applicant will receive a $1,000 artist fee.

 

The residency culminates in a community outreach activity, such as an artist talk, workshop, or performance, facilitated by the artists at the end of their week-long residency.

Want to apply? Keep an eye out for our call each winter.

We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk, whose culture has now been erased forever. We also acknowledge the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) as the unceded, traditional territory of the Beothuk and the Mi'kmaq. And we acknowledge Labrador as the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Innu of Nitassinan, the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, and the Inuit of NunatuKavut. We recognize all First Peoples who were here before us, those who live with us now, and the seven generations to come. As First Peoples have done since time immemorial, we strive to be responsible stewards of the land and to respect the cultures, ceremonies, and traditions of all who call it home. As we open our hearts and minds to the past, we commit ourselves to working in a spirit of truth and reconciliation to make a better future for all.
