The Indigenous Youth Artist-in-Residence Program is a six-month residency beginning in the fall of 2023, a collaboration between 7th Generation Image Makers Program and the Doris McCarthy Gallery, supported by the Department of Arts, Culture & Media, University of Toronto Scarborough. The program aims to support the practice of a young Indigenous artist by offering paid studio time, professional development opportunities, and mentorship by Doris McCarthy Gallery staff, U of T Scarborough faculty, and professional artists, as well as the opportunity to audit a course at the University of Toronto Scarborough and access other University resources (facilities, events, staff & faculty). 

This program is open to Indigenous youth aged 16-24. Application deadline is Monday, October 2, 2023. An FAQ document is available to further support and explain the application process.
