Everyone Is An Artist is proud to introduce the Jordan Village Artist Residency (JVAR), a semi-rural artist incubator rooted in creativity, collaboration, and connection. Jordan Village is located in the Township of Lincoln, Ontario, Canada. JVAR is a new initiative dedicated to supporting emerging and mid-career artists, of all ages. Offering them the time, space, mentorship, and resources to create, explore, and grow in a peaceful and supportive environment.
JVAR began in the summer of 2025 and is an ever evolving project that will welcome many artists in the years to come. As each artist visits, creates, and connects, they’ll leave behind not only new work, but a meaningful mark on the story of Jordan Village. Together, we are building a legacy rooted in care, creativity, and community.
JVAR’s mission is simple: to offer artists the chance to create freely and to connect deeply with nature, with their practice, and with the people around them. Jordan is a rare place that is safe, welcoming, rich with history, and full of possibility. Through open workshops, artist talks, community gatherings, and spontaneous adventures, we hope to weave a network of mutual support between the village and visiting artists
JVAR is directed by village resident Kyle Kofsky, a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and creative director. With 20+ years of experience supporting artists and producing community-based art projects, Kyle brings mentorship, production skills, and a deep commitment to equity and care. JVAR reflects his belief that when artists are supported the entire cultural landscape benefits.
Visiting Artist Applications are open for 2026 and 2027 programming. Contact us to get started.
Warmly,
The JVAR Team
