AGO X RBC Emerging Artists Program

Thanks to the generous support of RBC, the AGO presents a trio of exciting programs designed to celebrate and support emerging artists: artists-in-residence, artist-researcher mentorships and a public workshop series.

Artist-in-Residence Placements 2024

2024 AGO x RBC Artists in Residence

Presented as part of the 2024 AGO x RBC Artist-in-Residence Program. This year, artists are asked to respond to the theme of movement. We invite artists to think about movement of people, ideas and places; how it mingles with, enhances or engages the museum context; and how personal experience shapes the project.
