2025 Application Info

We are currently accepting rolling applications for one- and two-month residencies from November to December 2025. Two to three-week micro residencies are also considered.

Please review the following information, Fee Schedule, and FAQ before submitting your application.

Submissions can be made through our form here, which indicates current availability:

Qualifications: SAR welcomes emerging, mid-career, or seasoned artists from across Canada and internationally. As this is a self-directed residency, we encourage applicants from a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds to apply. We are seeking artists with a BFA, MFA, or equivalent experience, who can demonstrate a strong and committed practice. As the residency is a communal environment, we welcome artists who value collaborative and community practices.

Note: We are not suited for practices that require heavy machinery, welding, kilns, or practices that may infringe on the work of other artists working in adjoining spaces (eg. strong smells). Please inquire if you have material questions/concerns.

Physical Accessibility:

SAR functions out of a former B&B. As the bedrooms are located on the upper level accessed through stairs, the live-in residency is not wheelchair accessible at this time. For all other inquiries regarding accessibility, please contact us at: info@simartres.com
