About
The 2023 Hart House Farm Art Residency is an interactive multi-participatory project that calls on people to come together with the aim of producing land-based artwork over the course of four days. The farm sits on the edge of the escarpment and boasts mature forests, meadows and limestone cliffs. The time there will be augmented by visits from Indigenous elders, professional artists, and plant knowledge people. The theme is based on Indigenous teachings pertaining to concepts of time and how we utilize that understanding to keep our lives in balance.
We will gather and spend time on the land, gathering stones, listening to stories, learn about the land while discovering the surrounding areas that are Hart House Farms.
More information coming soon!
