Colony and Residency Programs

We lived in the farm house and used the studios and galleries for creating our newest dance work. This was a highly enjoyable and fruitful experience. As a group who usually works in a city, under the constraints of time and space, working at Ross Creek was quite the opposite. Having virtually unlimited access to the studios, a willing and supportive staff and a quiet, inspiring environment to work in, proved to be very conducive to our creative process.”
-Susann Chiu, Dancer

The Ross Creek Centre provides great experiences for artists who wish to live in a retreat setting while in an artistic venue. Our Colony and Residency programs provide a spectacular rural environment along with the gifts of time and space to inspire talented artists of all disciplines. A Ross Creek Colony consists of use of a studio, accommodations, and three prepared meals a day for between four and eight weeks.

Ross Creek Colony and Residency artist applicants are all interviewed by our colony director, then selected by a jury of peers who are familiar with Ross Creek and who represent different disciplines.

The Centre offers residencies to professional creative artists from all nations and backgrounds working in one or more of the following media: Dance, film, writing, theatre, music, visual art, performance art, photography, and video. Artists may apply individually or as members of collaborative teams. They are selected by panels of other professional artists without regard to financial means.

Residencies last from four weeks to four months.
