Branscombe House Artist Residency
2024 Artist-in-Residence: Peisen Ding
Peisen Ding is a visual artist and educator whose practice explores urban relationships — such as those between individuals and among built environments — through painting, photography, installations or whatever medium organically arises.
Peisen is concluding their community-based art project, “(Be)coming Home”, with a community art exhibition and interactive mixed-media installation. Throughout 2024, they invited local residents to participate as collaborators during 14 workshops at Branscombe House and the Richmond Cultural Centre.

About the Program
The Branscombe House Artist Residency takes place in a restored 1908 Edwardian-style house in the residential area of Steveston. Since its inaugural residency in 2016, the program has hosted visiting professional artists for eleven-month community-engaged arts residencies. Branscombe House is located at 4900 Steveston Highway and is one of the earliest settler homes in the area.
Professional artists with a community-engaged practice are invited to apply for the residency through an annual open call. Please check back for forthcoming opportunities.
