Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre, Urban Arts Projects

These urban arts residency programmes are integral to the fulfillment of the Roundhouse community cultural development mandate. A Roundhouse residency constitutes the contracting of a group or individual with appropriate skills (artistic, interpersonal, physical) to work during an extended period of time with a community group and Roundhouse staff. Residencies are developed around issues and themes identified by the Roundhouse, relating to needs that are defined by the community. Residencies are projects that promote diversity, interdisciplinary activity, innovation, collaboration and interaction. The process is as important as the final product.
