EMERGING ARTIST STUDIO PROGRAM

The Emerging Artists Studio Program is for artists who are ready to take the leap from art as an academic pursuit to working and living as a professional artist. Conveniently located in the heart of London’s downtown, this program is designed to help emerging artists gain the mentorship of TAP’s mid-career resident artists as well as provide increased opportunity for exposure to gallerists and art enthusiasts.

​

As London’s creative hub, TAP Centre for Creativity has worked diligently to create the space, network, and resources to help emerging artists grow, and plant roots right here in downtown London.

​

This program will allow London’s emerging creators to challenge the status quo, without the fear of financial failure, in an environment where their ideas are tested, where they will be exposed to artists of many mediums, and where they will be mentored and promoted by TAP.

​

With one year of fully funded studio space, our emerging artists will have the time to consider their long-term personal goals, financial model, and to experiment in the art forms they are passionate about.

WHAT DOES THIS PROGRAM INCLUDE?​

​

The Emerging Artists Studio Program is a funded residency that includes:

​

  • 1 year of 24/7 access to a private, spacious Artist Studio

  • 1 solo exhibition in TAP’s Gallery, with an Opening Reception

  • A materials budget

  • Mentorship by TAP’s Executive Director, Resident Artists, and Community Partners

  • Marketing and promotional support from TAP’s staff

​

​

WHO CAN APPLY?​

​

Artists who have recently graduated from any London and area Visual Art program or London-based artists who have graduated from another Canadian institution (within the past 2 years) are encouraged to apply. This includes masters, undergrad, diploma, phd, or specialized visual arts programs (e.g., BealArt). Graduates must be between the ages 18-35 to apply.
