With support from the BC Arts Council, the Peace Liard Regional Arts Council is pleased to carry out the third annual Artist in Residence Program. This program provides a northeast BC artist with a $500 per month stipend for a six-month working period ($3,000), mentorship from a professional artist, and a solo exhibition at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery for which they are paid a professional CARFAC fee ($2,100). This program is flexible, with the remote mentorship sessions taking place roughly once per week, although the schedule can be adapted as required.
