The Glenfiddich Artists in Residence program is a unique opportunity offered to select visual artists from specific countries around the world. Canadian visual artists have until January 31, 2024 to apply for the $25,000 residency.<\/p>\n

Along with the cash prize, artists are invited to live and work on the scenic grounds of The Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland for a three-month period. They\u2019ll join other artists from China, Scotland, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States of America.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough its commitment and support of the arts, the Glenfiddich Artist-in-Residence Prize gives artists not only the monetary value of their residency, but provides such a fertile platform in the lovely Scottish Highlands,\u201d says Dr. Sara Diamond, President, OCAD University in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Program<\/h3>\n

Each artist gets their own space to live and work, and the backdrop of Scotland\u2019s legendary valley of the deer as inspiration \u2014 both the time and space to create.<\/p>\n

More than 160 artists from 20 countries have taken part in the summer residency since its inception. Speyside and the Highland countryside is rich in history, culture, and craftsmanship, and artists get the chance to work alongside their peers from all over the world. Artists have worked in diverse media, including print, photography and animation, installations of various kinds, and performance.<\/p>\n

Toronto artist Derek Liddington was Canada\u2019s choice for 2023. His work examines cultural memory through contemporary visual languages, and has been shown extensively throughout Canada, the US, Japan and Europe.<\/p>\n
