Pouch Cove Foundation
St. Johns, NF,
CA Canada
ince 1990, the Pouch Cove Foundation has been providing
studio/residence space to visiting
artists from around the world. The program provides visting
artists
with four weeks use of the property on the edge of the North Atlantic
Ocean. The
residency includes exclusive use of one of the two 1000 square foot
furnished studio/residences to use by artists for a full month. The
studios overlook the ocean, and provide a spectacular view for any
artist. Many of the artists who have produced artwork in Pouch Cove have
been inspired by the Newfoundland landscape, and their experience at the
residency continues to inform
their art practice.
The Pouch Cove Foundation has been funded by the Baird Family in
an effort to assist visual artists experience our unique culture and in
turn, have those artists show the province to the world. To date
we have hosted artists from all provinces of Canada, many of the United
States, as well as Ireland, England, Russia, Bulgaria, Poland,
and the Netherlands.
In 2001 the Foundation is establishing a second facility in Corner
Brook on the west coast of the island. This property will house two
year-round 1000 square foot live/work spaces overlooking the Bay of
Islands.
Part of the pleasure of the program is the casual
nature of the place. What started by accident has
become an important part of Newfoundland's culture. Many former
residents have acquired homes in the province an visit regularly.
