Branscombe House Artist Residency
2024 Artist-in-Residence: Peisen Ding
Peisen Ding is a visual artist and educator whose practice explores urban relationships — such as those between individuals and among built environments — through painting, photography, installations or whatever medium organically arises.
Peisen is launching their community-based art project called “(Be)coming Home”. Throughout 2024, they will invite local residents to participate as collaborators and, ultimately, present an interactive mixed-media installation at the end of the residency.
Peisen’s residency will begin in mid-January 2024 and run through until mid-December 2024.
Branscombe House Art Workshop Series
This series of free workshops led by artist-in-residence Peisen Ding will cover a variety of visual art methods such as drawing, painting, collage and crafting.

About the Program
The Branscombe House Artist Residency takes place in a restored 1908 Edwardian-style house in the residential area of Steveston. Since its inaugural residency in 2016, the program has hosted visiting professional artists for eleven-month community-engaged arts residencies. Branscombe House is located at 4900 Steveston Highway and is one of the earliest settler homes in the area.
Professional artists with a community-engaged practice are invited to apply for the residency through an annual open call. Please check back for forthcoming opportunities.
