International Residencies Grant, Arts Across Canada and Abroad
About this call
International Residencies is one of ten funding opportunities in the Canada Council for the Arts' Arts Across Canada and Abroad program. It offers support for artists, arts workers, artistic groups and artistic organizations from Canada to attend a residency abroad. The wider program connects artists from Canada with audiences at home and around the world, and supports sharing, presenting and touring work, engaging with the public and building stronger national and international profiles. Introduced in 2025, it combines activities previously covered by the separate Arts Across Canada and Arts Abroad programs. Applications are viewed, submitted and managed entirely in the Council's client portal, which requires a validated applicant profile.
