Connects
Radiate at the Residence Inn

Arts Commons is partnering with the Residence Inn Calgary Downtown | Beltline District to create Radiate. Springing from the Artist Inn Residence Inn program, this is a unique opportunity for alumni of Arts Commons Connects programs to deepen their process in an immersive residency. Radiate is also available to artists from other communities who heighten the experience of alumni and current participants of the RBC Emerging Visual Artists Program and TD Incubator.
Radiate invites artists to submit a statement of interest after conversing with members of the programming team at Arts Commons. Radiate provides artists with studio space, accommodation, and strives to foster a vibrant atmosphere that enhances Calgary’s creative community. Visit our Artist Opportunity page to see how to apply.

Connor Cook
Connor Cook is one third of the Canadian-Swedish collective Trajectories, which explores the connection between humans and the natural world through soundscape, electroacoustic and ambient music. Drawing from practices like acoustic ecology and deep listening, they aim to hear the world from both human and non-human perspectives.
Trajectories was formed during lockdown in 2020, the artists turning their homes and surroundings into instruments and composing with collaborative and experimental composition processes that built on shared chemistry, curiosity, and friendship.
The collective has toured Eastern Canada and Scandinavia, performing in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Montreal QC, Fredericton, and Saint John NB.

The Radiate program is a new chapter in the Artist Inn Residence Inn program presented by the Residence Inn Calgary Downtown | Beltline to enhance the guest experience and foster artists and the arts in Calgary.
