'Too Many Rainy Days' Fund Needed
While Beowulf was a hit, at Ross Creek, we need your help to help recover from our rainy days this season. We had more than in any other year, and it took a toll on our box office revenue, which is our second most important source of funding.

Gallery and residency opportunities

We welcome applications to show or do a colony or residency program.  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. Click here for details.

We also welcome submissions for our gallery spaces. The Professional gallery has a deadline of December 1, 2010 for upcoming seasons, but our Community Gallery has a rotating deadline. Click here to find out more about the professional gallery or email our gallery director and find out more about how we use the community gallery.
