TRANSATLANTIC RESIDENCIES

​

Organized in collaboration with Montpellier's fine arts schools, Toulouse's Institut d'art et de design and Montreal's Fonderie Darling, the TransAtlantic Residencies enable young French artists to benefit from a stay in the metropolis of Montreal, before being invited to discover the magnificent Gaspésie region. Residents enjoy both an urban and rural experience of Quebec, moving from a rhythm of sustained cultural events to a period of contemplation and introspection.

​

In Montreal, artists are housed at Fonderie Darling, a visual arts centre in a former industrial complex that combines two buildings, one dedicated to exhibitions, the other to artists' studios and residencies. Artists have access to technical and logistical support, plus a production workshop.

In Gaspésie, at Gare de Matapédia, artists have access to daily technical and logistical support, as well as access to production workshops, local resources and meetings with artists and artisans.
