Creative in Residence

The Design Fabrication Zone’s annual Creative in Residence (CiR) program is a 3 month self-directed residency opportunity for ‘making-based creatives’ practising at all stages of their career. The CiR program was established in 2022 with the goal of presenting Toronto-based makers with unconventional programming opportunities that bridge fine arts, craft, and design, with digital fabrication technology.

Every year one candidate is selected to temporarily incubate their work at the Design Fabrication Zone, where they will produce an artwork for solo exhibition and steward a community engagement event in response to the residency’s curatorial theme.

Applications for the 2024 Creative in Residence program are CLOSED. Applications will reopen in summer 2025.
