A creative perspective

The Doris McCarthy Artist-in-Residence Program welcomes artists who want to explore the concepts of place, identity and history in a setting with cultural and natural heritage significance. These artistic and creative perspectives are crucial to understanding the diversity of heritage in Ontario and Canada, and better inform the Trust’s work.

Place: Projects may engage with the environment in general, or with the Fool’s Paradise locality (Lake Ontario, the Bluffs, trails, wildlife, etc.).

Identity: Projects may engage with personal identity, cultural identity or identity through other lenses (such as accessibility, feminism, BIPOC, LGBTQ2S, etc.).

History: Projects may engage with personal, familial or cultural histories, or histories of Ontario and Canada.
