Jillian Keiley and Don Ellis are lifelong specialists in theatre and sound — devoted to the creation, research, and celebration of the performing arts.

Don’s acclaimed recording career, including his work with Fat Tracks, has shaped the sound of countless performances and albums across Newfoundland. Jill, a director and producer who founded the reknowned Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland and led the National Arts Centre’s English Theatre for nearly a decade, has always dreamed of creating a space in her beloved Newfoundland where artists could gather, imagine, and make extraordinary work.

That dream found a home when St. Michael’s Church became available — a place filled with light, history, and resonance. It was impossible to say no. Shortly after, they also acquired the former St. Michael’s Printshop, adding to the site’s rich artistic lineage.

This is not an Airbnb. It is a sanctuary — offered only to artists who are creating, collaborating, and striving to make the world a better place through their work.
