Art & Science Residency

Janet Davis

I am absolutely thrilled to tell you that I will be taking part in my first ever Artist Residency at the Bonne Bay Aquarium and Research Station in Norris Point from September 16th to October 9th!  

My Residency Agreement says,

"The Art & Science residency offers visual artists the time and space to engage with interdisciplinary researchers from diverse scientific fields, fostering collaboration and generating new creative research.  Artists will have the opportunity to explore and respond to the dynamic natural environment while interacting with emering scientific research and field work.  

Residencies periods are intended to generate new creative research questions and interdisciplinary networking.  Artists will be invited to share work emerging from the residency in a group exhibition at BBARS in May 2026."

I have known that I was accepted for this residency for almost a month, but today I signed the agreement and can share my joy!  Really- I am giddy with excitement!  This is a new direction for my art practice after years of fulfilling other career dreams, and I have lots of new experiences to look forward to.  

While I'm in residence at Bonne Bay Aquarium & Research Station (BBARS), I'll be blogging about the experience each day in a diary type format, so you can follow along if you'd like!
