The Hammock Residency started in 2006, offering space to focus on the process of making art.  I want you to read all the books you've been meaning to read, the writing you've been putting off. It is a community hub, happenstance event space and a good space to let things happen. It's the spaces between the thoughts that inform the thoughts, and ultimately the art object.

I don't have much to offer you, but what I do have, you are welcome to share. We can put on the kettle and talk it out, or I can leave you alone to do whatever you need to do. Residencies happen within my house, in East Vancouver, just off Commercial Drive. If you feel inspired to present a project that you've been working on while in the Hammock, we can host small events at the house, or host one off site, at other community-linked spaces, like the Artbank (who we love to bits). 

If you would like to submit a proposal to Hammock Residency, please send me an email (hello @ heidi-nagtegaal .com) with your residency and/or project idea, with 3-10 images (research inspiration, studio, work, etc) - and we'll chat.
