Artist in Residence
Explore Creativity in the Wild
Art has impact
At Nimmo Bay, we recognize the profound impact of artists and strive to provide a space where their creativity can flourish and their contributions are celebrated and cherished.
Art Is Our Essence
Artists serve as essential agents of expression, reflection, and innovation. Through their creativity, they offer unique perspectives, challenge norms and provoke thought. Artists have the power to capture the essence of human experience, evoke emotions, and inspire change. They bridge divides, fostering empathy and understanding across diverse cultures and communities. In essence, artists play a pivotal role in shaping our collective consciousness and enriching the fabric of society.
The Rainforest Is Your Studio
Our program invites artists of all disciplines to embark on a journey of exploration and creation. This program is ideally suited for artists who can work independently in our studio space and are excited to share their work and their stories with our guests.
As part of our residency program, artists will have the chance to stay with our team for 3 or 4 nights at Nimmo Bay, with complimentary transportation from Port Hardy, accommodation in our team housing, delicious meals with our crew, and a peaceful space to work on their art. As part of the program, you will share your passion and talent with our guests by offering an interactive experience.
Apply now and embark on a transformative experience in one of the world’s most extraordinary settings.
