Alchemy Artist Residency

Experience/Attraction, Prince Edward County Arts Council, Arts

Alchemy is an international artist-led residency exploring the common themes between artistic practice and the cooking and sharing of food in community settings. Since 2017, this residency has occurred in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada, during the Harvest Season. Alchemy organizes and curates site-specific projects by participating artists who are paired with local farms and wineries.

Through community engagement and a commitment to a collaborative process, we collect, tell, and document multiple stories showcasing what compels people to continue to create, grow, farm, and live here. As of 2025, Alchemy Prince Edward County offers a winter by invitation only residency. Our summer plans for 2026 will be shared shortly.

We engage and encourage artists to continue work in progress or undertake new work inspired by the people and terroir of this dynamic rural agricultural setting. Participating artists create site-specific art and engage in community events and activities. Digital and in-person programming brings artists and the community together to explore, learn, make, and share lines of inquiry.
