residency opportunity: ArtCRAFT @ Empire of Dirt with Emily Neufeld and Marnie Temple

Call for Applications Deadline: May 8, 2026.

Three early career artists will be selected for a one week residency at Empire of Dirt during the week of August 8 to 15, 2026.

What’s the residency about?

  • This residency is for earlier career artists who want to take their final artwork from nearly complete to ready for installation, or who want to learn how to consider the final installation at the beginning of a project.

  • Learn techniques for installing your work and troubleshooting those details that really matter at the very end of the creation process.

  • Have you been to an exhibition where the way the work attaches to the wall is more visible and glaring than the work itself? Have you made a small sculpture and don’t really want to put it on a plinth, but don’t have other ideas?

  • This is a time research, exchange, and reflection in a rural space without the distractions of daily life, so bring ideas for a project you want to start or bring artwork that you need to finish.

What is offered:

  • $300 travel stipend

  • One week stay at EoD in your own live/work studio

  • Four half days of skill sharing workshops with Emily and Marnie

  • A quiet exchange with nature

She is committed to examining her own Mennonite and Scottish settler colonial histories in understanding her relationship to this place as Indigenous land. She received her BFA from ECUAD in 2013. Emily is the installation technician at Gordon Smith Gallery.

Marnie Temple’s practice explores her lived experiences in relation to the aftermath of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. She is a Black biracial person who grew up in the Prairies before settling in the Kootenays and co-operating EoD with her partner. She recently received her MFA from ECUAD in 2025.
