An immersive artist residency and sanctuary located on Mayne Island BC Canada.
For creators of all kinds, to delve into experiments, research and practice...unburdened by the rhythms of everyday life.
We acknowledge with gratitude that this land is situated on the traditional and un-ceded territories of the Straits Salish Peoples, on the Island called SḴŦAḴ in SENĆOŦEN.
The SENĆOŦEN speaking people have been here for millennia and have rich artistic and traditional culture connected to Mayne Island.
Portal supports a range of disciplines such as (but not limited to) visual art, writing, music, and film. This can include painters, sculptors, basket makers, ceramicists, textile artists, architects, designers, performers, poets, filmmakers, writers, musicians, philosophers and others!
No pressure to present or perform. For artists to experiment, play, produce, research, and be free.
We are also happy to facilitate installations, workshops, and/or performances, if this suits.
