Fogo Island Arts

Congrats to two past FIA residency participants, Jerry Ropson and Marlene Creates, who are among the lineup for this year's Bonavista Biennial, taking place from August 14 to September 12!

Bothy Project, Fogo Island Arts and Fogo Island Workshops are delighted to announce Cross Currents, a residency and professional development project for craft-designer-makers based in Scotland and in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Cross Currents will explore the historical, artistic and social parallels between Scotland’s West Coast and Newfoundland and Labrador and Canada’s East Coast. These connections across the Atlantic include geology and landscape; fishing and seafa...ring, in their cultural and environmental guises; and connections of communities, Indigenous peoples, migrants, immigrants and settlers. Two Scotland-based practitioners will undertake a residency at Bothy Project’s Sweeney’s Bothy, Isle of Eigg, and two Newfoundland and Labrador-based practitioners will participate in a residency with FIA. The four selected practitioners will connect digitally to build professional networks with each other, and to participate in a series of sessions with invited mentors. At its completion, the project will be shared widely through an online event. The application deadline is Monday May 10, 2021 (9 pm GMT / 5.30 pm Newfoundland). Full application details are on our website:
