Job Posting: CALL FOR NEW CENTRAL LIBRARY ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: INDIGENOUS

created: Dec 13, 2018

WINTER/SPRING 2019

The Calgary Public Library invites applications for the three-month, paid position of Artist in Residence: Indigenous at the new Central Library (NCL) in downtown Calgary, Alberta for February-April 2019. This residency aims to recognize the contribution of Indigenous artists, craftspeople and knowledge keepers to Calgary, and Canada’s, culture. In response to the calls of action in the City of Calgary’s White Goose Flying report, the Library seeks to honour Indigenous cultures and to promote intercultural understanding, perspective-taking and communication between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The residency aims to create a supportive environment for artists in Calgary to have time and space to create their own work while introducing Library patrons to artists and art forms they may not otherwise experience. Community engagement events, such as lectures and workshops, and regular open studio hours provide the public with opportunities to meet artists, observe the artistic process and participate in artmaking.
