Gladstone House, built in 1889, is Toronto’s oldest operating hotel. For more than two decades, it has been a hub for art and creativity, with art by local artists in public and spaces and guest rooms. The Art Studio at Gladstone House is a space for creativity and interaction. Located on the Studio Level of the hotel, the Art Studio is a bright, open, 480 square foot room with 3 spaces for resident artists. Since the program launched in 2021, they have hosted more than 50 artists in the studio. Gladstone House invites applications for short-term (3 month) visual art or craft residencies. Residencies are self-directed: the artists work on projects of their own choosing. Work may be tied to a project, including preparation for an exhibition or show/sale, or may be for portfolio/practice development.
