The Aunte Indigenous Residency

The Aunte Indigenous Residency supports artists and writers whose practices embody contemporary and traditional
forms of artistic expression located in Interior BC. The program will offer not only artists-in-residence programming,
but also mentorship, skills and development training, entrepreneurship and mental health supports. The Aunte is
committed to strengthening the Indigenous art sector by supporting artists in capacity building and expanding their
skills and knowledge within their practices to build strong authenticity, integrity and community.

The residency program is currently in its infancy and is working to develop programming delivery, policies and
procedures, develop partnerships, bylaws and complete organizational development. The goal is to approach this work
through a decolonial lens and will require extensive research and drafting to complete.
