Writers in Residence Program

We were delighted to welcome three writers to Dingley Village Library as part of our first Writers in Residence program.

During their 10-week residency, from 20 April to 26 June, the writers had access to a shared working space to immerse themselves in their writing practice. They also connected with the community through various workshops.

Magnify is Kingston Arts’ artist residency program hosting artists in shared studio spaces. We accommodate artists with varying creative practices, needs, and at different career stages, providing an environment to encourage creation, collaboration and artistic growth.

The Writers in Residence program was a pilot initiative for 2026, developed as a partnership between Kingston Arts, Kingston Libraries and Dingley Village Neighbourhood Centre, with the aim of growing and expanding the Artist in Residence opportunities available at Kingston.
