Application Type
I am applying alone and prefer to be alone on the island
I am applying with 1 other artist with whom I'd like to share the island, they are also applying with their own individual project - NOTE each artist must submit an application
I am applying alone and open to sharing the island with another artist (see below field)
We are applying as a group (eg. band, group project, etc)
If you are applying with another artist please provide their name(s) here.
Some artists are willing to share the island with another artist who has also been accepted. There are separate sleeping quarters and shared kitchen, living space and outhouse. If you are open to sharing please comment on any preferences regarding this.
Are you hoping to bring a pet with you to Halls Island? If so please provide details.
You are responsible for your transportation to Haliburton, ON

I understand
Halls Island is an off grid cabin, and runs on limited solar power, with only minimal power available, eg. to charge a phone or laptop only. There is no wifi or running water.
*
I understand
Getting to Halls Island requires climbing on and off of a boat and up a flight of stairs. Unfortunately it is not currently accessible to those who are unable to do so.
