Printmaking Residencies in Canada

Atelier Circulaire

Montreal, Canada

Atelier Circulaire, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, is an established artist center focused on the excellence of printed art. The center is dedicated to the production, research, education, and dissemination of print-based arts and aims to blend traditional engraving techniques with new technologies and contemporary practices. Atelier Circulaire offers two distinct residency programs that support the work of both emerging and established printmaking artists from around the globe.

Caetani Cultural Centre

Vernon, Canada

The Caetani Cultural Centre, located in Vernon, British Columbia, offers international self-directed residencies for emerging and established artists, writers, curators, and cultural researchers. Situated within a historic 1895 heritage home, this residency provides private living spaces and two on-site studios designed for visual and interdisciplinary artists. Participants are encouraged to explore creative practices across a variety of mediums, including visual arts, writing, music, and digital media. Artists can book short-term residencies from three days to up to three months, with extended stays available upon negotiation. The residency fosters a quiet, independent atmosphere while offering optional opportunities for community engagement such as artist talks, open studios, or workshops. The nearby Vernon Community Arts Centre provides additional access to ceramics and printmaking facilities. Nestled in the Okanagan Valley, the Caetani Centre allows residents to immerse themselves in nature, history, and a vibrant local arts scene. Residents are responsible for travel and project costs, but the program provides affordable fees for both accommodations and studio spaces.
