NONESUCH ART RESIDENCIES

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.  -Maya Angelou, poet (1928-2014)

We are not currently accepting applications to the Nonesuch Residency program.

The Nonesuch mission is to have fun and to encourage artistic activity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community involvement.

March 2020

Travel can be quite a stimulus to ideas and creativity. The residency program allows participants the opportunity to work creatively in one or more new environments. Support to the community is via arts programming, seminars, collaborations, small venue presentations, and partnerships.

Leigh Jeneroux Exhibition

4 – 27 OCTOBER 2024





FUN HOUSE Slow Art for Fast Times, was born out of the need to make sense and meaning of a world that seems to have somehow become completely unhinged and absolutely foreign to me.

Through this series of lush India ink paintings and vivid sculptural works I grapple with the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds, contemplating the threshold between them.

Through observation of Nature and the Scientific Lens, I have begun to reconstruct a world for myself that I can understand and feel included in. I am forever in pursuit of the experience of Nature where I feel so small in its vastness that suddenly anything is possible.

I am an artist / architect living and working in London, Canada.
