Summer Artist in Residence

Every July and August, artists in the Summer Artist in Residence Program spend two weeks ‘in residence’ at either Killarney Lake Park or the Fredericton Botanic Garden, creating special projects and art pieces inspired by their surroundings.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to visit the parks and talk with the artists to learn more about their work and creative process. Be sure to follow the artists’ social media to watch their creations evolve and for updates on upcoming events, including artist talks, demos, workshops, and Q&As.

The Fredericton Botanic Garden

At the Fredericton Botanic Gardens, situated at the western end of Odell Park, artists “in residence” create works of art inspired by the lush and flourishing scenery. Bursting with life and colour, the streams, springs, and flourishing habitats are sure to spark the artists’ creativity. 

 

Seek out the artists Monday – Friday from 10am to 4pm to view their creations, learn about their process and be inspired by their art.
