Creekside Residency on Vancouver Island

The Ou-telier is an intimate, process-based artist residency and writing retreat located in a historic boatbuilding workshop in the beautiful Quw’utsun/Warmland of the Cowichan Valley, the heart of Vancouver Island. We welcome applications from emerging and established writers, painters, photographers, textile + 2D artists, and host up to four artists at a time. We’re looking for creatives who demonstrate a commitment to their practice and love hosting folks who are self-directed, focused and kind. And our hope is that you will leave the residency feeling rested, renewed and inspired. There is no fee to apply. Residencies are two or four weeks long. See website for details: www.theougallery.com
