Alchemy: a magical setting for inquiry and discovery

We offer a variety of programs designed to support artists and promote the arts in our community. Our programs include artist residencies, community art projects, and a informal mentorship program for emerging artists..


Our current programming stems from what we have learned through collaborating  with more than 100 artists over nearly a decade of convening artist residencies and community engaged programming on the Toronto Islands and in rural Prince Edward County (PEC), Ontario.

   

Alchemy's artist led initiatives engage and encourage artists to continue work in progress or undertake new work inspired by the people and land in this dynamic rural agricultural setting. Participating artists live and work in one of two locations to explore, and share lines of inquiry. Through a strong commitment to a collaborative process, we collect, document and share multiple stories in two unique locations. The result is an ever-growing constellation of collaborations between and among artists and residents on the Toronto Islands and artists,  long time residents farmers, makers, growers, and workers in the County.
