ceramic, glass, and enamel arts td residency

The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is now accepting applications for our 2026 Artist in Residence program, which focuses on marginalized emerging artists, made possible with the support of TD Bank Group (TD). The Ceramic, Glass, and Enamel Arts TD Residency for Black, Indigenous, and Underrepresented Peoples and Communities will enable two emerging artists to undertake a fully funded 8-week residency at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery in Waterloo, Ontario. Residencies will take place January to March 2026 and July to August 2026. Residents will be equipped with a working studio space, a bi-weekly stipend, materials, and mentorship as they complete a body of work. Artists-in-residence will also engage the local community through public programs at the Gallery and produce digital content to be shared across the country. 

Artists are eligible to work in ceramics, fused glass, stained glass, or vitreous enamel. Artists must work in the studio 35 hours per week for a period of 8 weeks. During the residency, the selected artist will be expected to spend approximately 8 hours per week supporting the Gallery through studio operations, workshops, and other relevant duties.
