Whether with the Montreal companies Turbulent and VYV or with Concordia University’s interdisciplinary research institute Milieux, each residency allows the artist or group of professional artists selected by a jury to obtain a four-week research and creation space. In addition to having access to the residency partner’s premises and equipment, the artist or collective can count on the support of qualified technicians selected according to the project to be carried out. For a total of 200 hours of support, he can thus deepen his artistic approach in a new way, inspired by the experience and specialities of the company or institute.
Important note: once the residency is completed, the artist or collective remains the owner of all rights to the project submitted as well as to the final result. In return for this artistic exploration, the partner benefits from ideas and ways of doing things to nurture its development. On both sides, the participants are the winners of this unique exchange and opportunity.
We thank our residency partners and wish all candidates the best of luck!
