This residency provides professional artists with time to focus on their work in the beautiful natural setting of Riding Mountain National Park. The residency is housed in the historic Deep Bay log cabin, built in 1934, on the shoreline of Clear Lake.
Artists are given the opportunity to get away from their hectic lives to concentrate on their artistic practice. The residency also provides opportunities to interact and share work with residents and visitors in the Riding Mountain area.
This residency is made possible through a partnership between the Manitoba Arts Council and Riding Mountain National Park.
