APPEL DE RÉSIDENCE POUR ARTISTE OU COMMISSAIRE AUTOCHTONE

The Centre CLARK and the Aboriginal Curatorial Collective/Collectif des Commissaires Autochtones (ACC/CCA) are pleased to partner to offer an opportunity for a studio residency at the Centre CLARK during Winter 2020 (January-March) to an Indigenous (First Nations, Métis or Inuit) artist or curator from any region of the territory known as Quebec. This residency will allow the chosen candidate to work on a corpus of artwork and/or to do research related to their artistic/curatorial practice. The artist/curator will therefore have exclusive access to an individual studio space, in addition to having access to the Atelier CLARK (woodworking and carpentry workshop) if they so desires, both located in the same building than the Centre CLARK. The chosen candidate will benefit from Centre CLARK and ACC-CCA resources, contacts and support to ensure that the artist/curator can accomplish their own research goals set for the residency. A public presentation will be organized in the studio near the end of the residency.
