Description

Initiated by the Institut français du Canada as part of its “Résidences Ouest-Ouest” program, in partnership with the Marianne and Edward Gibson Art Museum and the Department of Physics at Simon Fraser University (SFU), the “Cosmic Commons” Arts-Science residency program was launched in 2026 in Burnaby, British Columbia (Canada). This edition is open to a French artist exploring the intersections between the arts and astrophysics and/or cosmology.

This residency, taking place from November 2 to December 1, 2026, in Vancouver/Burnaby on the Burnaby campus of Simon Fraser University (SFU), aims to foster exchanges between artistic creation and astrophysics (the study of the mechanisms of celestial bodies) and/or cosmology (the study of the evolution of the universe as a whole).

Deadline: July 10, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. (Paris time)
