The New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD)’s Residency program is adapting to the new climate of self-isolation, and has pivoted its direction to be a home-based residency. In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, the program has moved to a virtual platform, forming community through online communication paired with at-home creation. Alone Together Residency draws on supportive planning and motivational tools that invite artists to embrace creativity, with whatever capacity is possible for them.The whole world is on pause. This is an opportunity to channel the reflecting, worrying, critical thinking, reading and dreaming you have been doing at home into bits of creativity and creation. Artists are invited to do as much or as little as suits their current situation.For more information on how to become involved, visit: https://nbccd.ca/alone-together-residency
