"/BLEACH.ACCESS" RESIDENCY
BY BLEACH STUDIOS LTD®
OPEN CALL // SUBMISSIONS OPEN
LOCATION: VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA
DEADLINE: 31 MAY 2025
An invitation to take space, take risks, and create
Bleach is launching a recurring residency in partnership with Platform 9, offering artists, designers, curators, educators, and cultural workers the opportunity to activate a flexible, modular warehouse space at 390 Industrial Avenue, Vancouver, BC — for one day/night of intentional programming.
//
Every few months, we’ll select a resident and support them in realizing their vision. Bleach and it’s partners, will cover the rental fee, offer a small stipend, and provide production guidance to help bring the project to life.
This is an opportunity to experiment, share, and build community — whether through a show, performance, exhibition, listening session, screening, workshop, or something in between.
We’re especially excited to support:
1) Projects that center marginalized &
underrepresented voices.
2) Work that blends disciplines.
3) Ideas rooted in culture, story, and gathering.
You don’t need to be a producer or organizer.
Come with a vision — we’ll help shape it.
Let’s build something intentional together.
Deadline for round 01: 31 May 2025
The first "/bleach.access" residency will take place in late July or early August 2025.
Selected applicants will be contacted in early June to begin planning.

Platform 9 is a private, modular warehouse space located at 390 Industrial Avenue in Vancouver, BC.
It’s a flexible space designed to support creative projects — from performances and exhibitions to screenings, listening sessions, and community gatherings.
The space is run by a collective called No Point Music, and for the "/bleach.access" residency, Bleach partners with them to offer one day/night takeovers with full access to the room, basic tech support, and a blank canvas to build from.
