QUEER UP NORTH artist residency is a new initiative and collaboration between The Throbbing Rose Collective and the White Bear Artist Residency in Temagami, Ontario.

Our inagural year was held at the Northland Paradise Lodge, on the shore of Snake Island Lake in Temagami. Queer Up North annually offers sixteen 2SLGBTQSIA artists-in-residence the opportunity to work, interact and collaborate in the forests and lakes of Northern Ontario.

Mark your Calendar! The next residency takes place August 15 - 30, 2025. Applications open February 1, 2025.
