Branscombe House Artist Residency RFP

2025 Request for Proposal

The City of Richmond’s Arts, Culture and Heritage Services invites professional artists in all disciplines (including writers, composers, visual artists, musicians, theatre artists, video, multi-disciplinary and performance artists) to submit proposals for an 11-month live-in residency to begin in January 2025 and run until mid-December 2025.

Branscombe House is a restored Edwardian-style house located in the residential area of Steveston. The self-contained two-bedroom suite upstairs is offered as an artist residence/studio with rent 100% subsidized in exchange for a minimum of 22 hours/month (240 hours total) of artist-led community-engaged programming.

Visit the Branscombe House Artist Residency webpage for further information about the current residency program and the Artist's Suite webpage for more information about the apartment and facilities. This residency is located in a heritage building and, as such, the artist's suite is not wheelchair accessible.

Applications are now closed for the 2025 Branscombe House Artist Residency Program.
