Toni Onley Artists’ Project

Slow Process: A Celluloid Filmmaking Residency in Wells, BC

The Artists’ Projects are intensive studio experiences (often between 8 and 14 days) where participating artists are given time and space to work on individual projects, with access to established artists acting as mentors through the process.
