2025 AGO x RBC Artists in Residence

Presented as part of the 2025 AGO x RBC Artist-in-Residence Program. This year, artists are asked to respond to the AGO’s collections, education activities and public programs. We invite the winter residency artist to think about engaging with families during March Break; the spring residency artist to collaborate with youth; and the summer residency artist to interpret the collection through new media practice.
