artists-in-residence 2025-2026

Grenfell Art Gallery, Creative Gros Morne, and Bonne Bay Aquarium and Research Station (BBARS) are excited to announce a new artist residency opportunity at Grenfell Campus' Research Station in Norris Point, NL, an enclave community within the boundaries of Gros Morne National Park.

Visual artists at all career-stages are invited to apply for 1-4 week residencies to take place between June 2025 and January 2026.

The Art & Science residency offers visual artists the time and space to engage with interdisciplinary researchers from diverse scientific fields, fostering collaboration and generating new creative research. Artists will have the opportunity to explore and respond to the dynamic natural environment while interacting with emerging scientific research and field work.

Residencies periods are intended to generate new creative research questions and interdisciplinary networking. Artists will be invited to share work emerging from the residency in a group exhibition at BBARS in May 2026.

During the inaugural program, four artists will be selected to participate.

Location: Bonne Bay Aquarium and Research Station, Norris Point, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
