Connects
Radiate at the Residence Inn
Arts Commons is partnering with the Residence Inn Calgary Downtown | Beltline District to create Radiate. Springing from the Artist Inn Residence Inn program, this is a unique opportunity for alumni of Arts Commons Connects programs to deepen their process in an immersive residency. Radiate is also available to artists from other communities who heighten the experience of alumni and current participants of the RBC Emerging Visual Artists Program and TD Incubator.
Radiate invites artists to submit a statement of interest after conversing with members of the programming team at Arts Commons. Radiate provides artists with studio space, accommodation, and strives to foster a vibrant atmosphere that enhances Calgary’s creative community. Visit our Artist Opportunity page to see how to apply.
