WriteON is an opportunity to take the time to articulate the meaningful across our urban environment.

The workshop series is open to professional and aspiring writers: artists and architects, as well as those with backgrounds in film, digital media, design, theatre, public art, planning, urbanism, anthropology and geography are invited to explore a contemporary means of expressing visual form.

It’s about words. And about explorative, provocative thinking.

Successful applicants will attend online writing sessions between April and June. Select essays developed over the course of the workshops will be published. Applicants will have the opportunity to apply for one of two summer residencies to research and develop a critical reflection. The residencies are in partnership with the Calgary Public Library and Esker Foundation.

To apply, submit a writing sample and CV or background detail. There is no fee to apply nor to participate. Applications are adjudicated on merit and are accepted until April 1, 2021.
