Call for Applications:
Northern Ontario Mobile Residency Program!

N2M2L is excited to offer Media Artists the opportunity to explore the vast land of Northern Ontario from a 29ft mobile live/work studio, through the Northern Ontario Mobile Residency Program. Artists can now submit their application for the 2022 Awarded Mobile Residency (Deadline: September 30, 2020) as well as the 2021 Self-funded Mobile Residency (Rolling Deadline). Application Information available HERE.

The Northern Ontario Mobile Residency aims to encourage media artists to connect with northern locales and communities and reflect on ideas of land, geography, and identity. Priority will be given to Indigenous artists and artists with contemporary practices in which the landscape plays a central role, and to those who are thinking critically about cultural identity in relation to rural northern Ontario.

The residency is designed around the Mobile Lab, a 29-foot C-class motorhome featuring a comfortable living space in the front, with a soundproofed studio space for working on projects in the rear. The studio area features desk space for two artists with multiple electrical outlets, a sofa, a built in monitor and surround-sound system, and secure gear storage.

We envision this residency adding to the national media arts discourse by connecting northern communities to contemporary media arts practices, and promoting our expansive region to Canadian artists by overcoming regional limitations.
