Upcoming Expeditions

Summer 2022

Discovery Islands &
The Great Bear Rain Forest Zone

  • Session 1: June 3rd to June 15th, 2022
  • Session 2: June 20th to July 2nd, 2022
  • Session 3: July 7th to July 19th, 2022

Aboard the traditionally rigged schooner, Jan Van Gent, these small-ship expeditions will host international artist and scientist alumni from The Arctic Circle Residency.

The Discovery Islands and Great Bear Rainforest Zone are home to essential, rare eco-systems and natural-world conservation campaigns. Today this vast wilderness must also struggle to withstand increased destructive resource extraction on an industrial scale and encroaching development.

This is a land of contrasts. It is unceded First Nations territory, and is the home and headquarters for Open Bay Centre for Art & Science.

How to Apply

The inaugural summer 2022 expeditions, Discovery Islands and Great Bear Rain Forest Zone, are available to alumni of The Arctic Circle Residency.

Interested alumni are asked to email apply@openbaycentre.org to receive application guidelines.

Deadline for applications is September 30, 2021.
