Artist residencies
Creative residencies in the Accès culture network
As pioneers of cultural democratization, the Maisons de la culture have long supported professional arts companies. By welcoming them into their space to develop various projects, the Maisons have at times helped to alleviate the shortage of resources in the arts community. Some 70 projects or 400 residency days are offered each year in the Accès culture network. Municipal action is not limited strictly to dissemination, but also includes mediation and guidance as well as incubation and residency support.
Conseil des arts de Montréal’s programs
The Conseil des arts de Montréal offers nearly a dozen residency programs to artists from various disciplines.
