Event History

The Kingsbrae International Residency for the Arts (KIRA ) was founded in 2016 in order to support local arts and to invite International artists to be inspired by the local beauty that New Brunswick has to offer. Over the last few years, the KIRA Residency Program has grown to be one of Canada's most prestigious residencies that offers artists from all parts of the world, who have a variety of artistic backgrounds, the opportunity to take advantage of state-of-the-art arts facilities.

Artist Residency Opportunity

Each year KIRA awards six artists with a 1-month residency. Artists get a stipend, life on a historic property in a beautiful seaside town, individual studio space, comfortable housing, and two prepared meals each day.

Artists are asked to bring all supplies and materials needed for their creative process, to ensure availability of required supplies and provisions. As part of the art residency, artists will be asked to engage with the community for up to 6 hours a week. These engagements will vary based on skills and interest and can include a partnership with Kingsbrae Garden which is located just steps away from the residence and studios.

Applications are open to a range of disciplines and types of artists including but not limited to the visual arts, music/composition, writing, new media, and interdisciplinary arts. Artists from all levels in their career who exhibit a strong professional work ethic and a collaborative attitude are encouraged to apply.
