about
This Town Is Small’s Peake Street Initiative provides development support to artists building experience in professional, non-commercial art contexts through workshops and one-on-one supports. This program is open to artists at all career stages on a first come, first served basis. This portal will remain open until August 10th to assist with planning mentorship work into 2026. Slots traditionally fill very rapidly so please do not delay completing this form.
Successful applicants will work with Donnalee Downe (Project Coordinator for Peake Street).
While space is limited for this round of mentorship, artists who may be interested in the future should consider completing the online application since a wait list of interested artists will be maintained moving forward.
TTIS is committed to inclusive practices and we encourage applicants who identify as Indigenous, members of visible minorities, LGBTQ2SIA+, and persons with disabilities to apply.

about peake street collective
The Peake Street Collective was established in 2005 when ten Island artists began regularly exhibiting new works in a former garage space attached to a private home in Charlottetown.
The grass roots collective’s current 163 artist members are diverse in terms of experience. While the majority are established and emerging artists, the group also recognizes the importance of fostering the growth of pre-emerging, first-time exhibitors. To this end, Peake Street shows are not juried and artists automatically become members when they participate in group exhibitions or artist challenges.
