Ok, so now in canada they will pay you to NOT be an artist…. or something like that…

Residency for Artists on Hiatus RFAOH is a virtual yet functioning residency available to artists who, for one reason or another, are not currently making or presenting art. The residency will exist in the form of a website, and the resident artists will be selected based on their proposals of “on-hiatus” activities or non-activities through open calls. Selected artists will be represented on the site by a dedicated page on which they may post periodic reports on their endeavours during their residency.

A modest stipend will be awarded to successful applicants ($30 Canadian dollars per month)
