About the residency
Wild Rose Artist Retreat, operating under the Dufferin Arts Council and associated with StreamsHub.org, is a rural residency program situated on a working farm in Dufferin County, Ontario. Founded on the belief that creative practice benefits from immersion in the rhythms of the natural world, the retreat offers artists, writers, and researchers uninterrupted time and space away from urban pressures. Its mission is to foster experimentation and cross-disciplinary exchange within a supportive, land-based context, without imposing thematic or output-driven expectations.

Applications are typically accepted on a rolling basis, with specific residency periods announced seasonally (e.g., October 2026). Artists should submit a concise project proposal that demonstrates how time in a rural, communal setting would benefit their practice, along with a current CV and work samples. There is no application fee, but selected residents are responsible for a modest weekly contribution toward food and utilities. Given limited accommodations, early inquiry is advised. The selection committee prioritizes fit with the retreat’s ethos of quiet experimentation over careerist ambition.
