Annandale Artist Residency is the passion project of the Shevlen Family, working in tandem with artist Jenna Faye Powell. Located on the Atlantic Ocean, in Annandale, Prince Edward Island, Annandale Artist Residency (AAR) is housed in a restored historic home, facilitating up to three visiting artists at a time.

Since 2020, we’ve been working with esteemed artists, curators, and administrators to identify gaps in opportunities and representation in the Canadian art community —  and, to shape the residency to reflect current needs and trends. With this in mind, Annandale Artist Residency offers mid-career artists the time, resources, and space necessary to cultivate new art and ideas through month-long, self-directed residency stays, free of entrance fees.

The residency is available by invitation only, unless a Call for Applications is posted here. This process will allow us to identify and implement best practices across the new residency. Please email us at info@annandaleartistresidency.com for general inquiries.
