Earlier this week B Street Collaborative’s founder Heather Jessiman enjoyed attending the ’s final Conservatory Circle of the season titled National Arts at a Crossroads: The Evolving Landscape. The event delivered a stimulating panel discussion between prominent arts leaders Deborah Rutter, Christopher Deacon and Alexander Brose exploring the opportunities and challenges ahead in the arts sector.

🎉We’re thrilled to announce that the incredible Eve Tagny .t_eve.t has been selected as the Canadian visual artist who will be undertaking a residency at Gasworks in London from July 7 to September 15, 2026! 🇨🇦

Eve’s multidisciplinary practice weaves together lens-based media, performance, writing and research into site-specific installations that explore narratives of grief, resilience and nature.

During her time at Gasworks, Eve will focus on the legal systems and behaviours that entrench globalised systems of capital production and circulation. Working with soil, seeds, plants, natural fabrics and moving bodies, she will develop works that trace the entangled movements of people, plants and cultural goods in service of capital and private gain.

B Street Collaborative is honoured to support Eve Tagny’s residency in collaboration with The Canadian Art Foundation . Thank you to all the wonderful visual artists from across Canada who applied to this open call and congratulations Eve!🎉
