« Founded in 2001, in a partnership with Parks Canada, the KIAC Artist in Residence Program has welcomed over 300 talented artists, musicians and filmmakers to Dawson City from all regions of Canada and around the world. Our alumni include Sobey Art Award nominees, Western Canada Music Award winners, and prize-winning filmmakers from film festivals across the globe.

The residence accommodates two artists concurrently for research, development and production of ongoing or new bodies of work.

KIAC accepts applications from visual artists, media artists and interdisciplinary artists, as well as curators.

Consideration will be given to professional, established and emerging Canadian and international artists. All disciplines will be considered.

Artists may also have the opportunity to facilitate outreach programs such as talks, workshops and exhibitions, intended to promote interaction and professional development, and provide access to a diverse range of contemporary arts practices and theories within the community.

General Call residencies will run in February, April through June, and from August through December.

• Applicants may apply for residencies 4–12 weeks in duration.
• January, March/April, July to mid-August are reserved for specific residencies (Music Festival, Film Festival, The Natural & the Manufactured).
• Film Festival Residency: This residency occurs annually during March/April, coinciding with the Dawson City International Short Film Festival on Easter Weekend (April 5-9, 2023).

Participants are responsible for all travel and personal expenses including food and materials related to their work.«
