What we do for ARTISTS
Since 1982, the artist residency program at the Silver Center for Contemporary Arts
has supported the work of more than 1500 artists from all over Canada and from 40
other nations. The residency awards include studio and living space, a monthly
stipend to help artists with their expenses, and use of specialized equipment for all
types of visual and performance art. Each artist gives a public lecture or
performance at the Silver.
What we do for ART EDUCATION
The Silver School of Art offers classes and workshops in visual arts for students,
adults, and families in our spacious new facilities. Our goal is to make innovative,
challenging art programs available to a wide spectrum of communities. We do so by
making classes affordable and by working with community service organizations.
Our Youth in Public Art program has created outdoor murals, bus shelter art, and
billboards.
