Ottawa Residency Application Invitation for Artists Seeking Submissions
In an exciting development for artists across disciplines, an open call has been announced for a free, eight-week Artist Fall Residency at One River Zen in Ottawa. This unique opportunity focuses on contemplative meditation and community engagement, offering a platform for artists to deepen their art practice and exhibit their work to the public.
The residency, which does not require artists to live at One River Zen, will take place at the Buddhist temple in Ottawa. Artists of all disciplines are encouraged to apply, with special consideration given to those interested in contemplative meditation.
During the residency, artists will have the chance to engage with the community of Buddhists at One River Zen and explore ways to strengthen the connection between Ottawa Buddhists and the local community. There will be a reception showcasing the artists' work at the end of the residency, as well as an opportunity for artists to give a public presentation about their art.
Although specific details about the selection process for artists are not provided, interested parties are invited to contact René Parks Wendinger via email for more information. It is worth noting that there does not seem to be any requirement for artists to practice Buddhism or live at One River Zen during the residency.
The Arts of Starved Rock Country Fund, a component fund of the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation, is believed to be involved in the residency program. The residency's focus on enhancing art practice through contemplative meditation and community engagement sets it apart from many other artistic residencies.
For those seeking to immerse themselves in a creative and mindful environment while furthering their artistic pursuits, this free fall residency at One River Zen in Ottawa could be the perfect opportunity.
