Congratulations! Jon Claytor and Mark Thibeault are the successful applicants for the (inaugural) 2019 Cassiar Cannery Artist-in-Residence program. The Prince Rupert Community Arts Council & the Cassiar Cannery have partnered to bring this exciting program to the North Coast. The Artist-in-Residence program provides opportunities for two visual artists to live and work at the Cassiar Cannery for a period of one or three weeks. Artists-in-residence are provided with accommodation and studio space as well as an honorarium to offset the cost of materials, shipping, day to day living expenses and travel. Artists-in-residence must give one public presentation, performance or workshop during their residency.

Our Short Residency artist is Mark Thibeault. Mark is an expressionist painter currently residing in Telkwa, BC. Inspired by abstract expressionists, Thibeault refers to objects and surroundings for lines and shapes to start a piece. Compositions may come together quickly but are often painted over in favour of a composition that will insist it is complete and better than it was. Mark is also a luthier and has designed and crafted over 400 world-class musical instruments. Mark’s guitars have been featured in Terry Burrows’ 1001 Guitars To Dream of Playing Before You Die.
