221A's Fellowship program is an 18-month (non-residential) studio-placement award at 825 Pacific Street. With a focus on artists from historically excluded communities, the program provides a $72,000 CAD stipend, $10,000 CAD project funding, and studio space for three artists—making it one of the most generous studio-placement awards in Canada.
Hosted at 825 Pacific, each Fellowship culminates into online and in-person cultural outputs, including talks, exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, podcasts, and digital prints.
221A acknowledges that 825 Pacific—situated between the burial grounds of Smem̓chús and the shores of Í7iy̓el̓shn—is within the unceded Indigenous territories belonging to the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
