Artists In Residence (AiRs)
January 2026
Alexandra Bischoff (Long-Term Artist in Residence, 2022–current; Onsite Coordinator, 2023–2025; Residency Manager, 2025-current)
Alexandra Bischoff is a prairie-born artist of settler descent. They hold a Fine-Arts Diploma from MacEwan University (2012), a BFA in Visual Arts Studio from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (2015), and an MFA from Concordia University in Intermedia (2021). Bischoff’s artworks manifest as multimedia installations, sculptures, and writing; their art-making processes as a whole are based in durational performance. While in residency at SAR, Bischoff has been researching family archives and Canada’s homesteading histories to investigate what it means to be a housing-insecure settler on stolen Indigenous land.
Naomi Shore
Naomi Shore delivers performances that are at once contemplative and clever; vulnerable songwriting is buoyed by surging vocals as smooth and full as deep water.
For this storyteller and lover of sad songs, crafting music has become more than her trade. It is a way to process life, to send a searching hand out through the mists of a melody and connect with the world.
Britt AM
Britt A.M. is a multi-disciplinary artist based on unceded, traditional Lheidli T’enneh territory in Prince George, BC. A graduate of the Selkirk College Contemporary Music and Technology program, Britt has toured nationally and released several recordings, including her 2021 EP, “GOLD”, which landed on Earshot’s National Top Ten radio chart. Britt brings a punk rock sense of urgency to her music, holding a melodic, guitar-driven net for her carefully crafted lyrics to land.
