Residency of the Americas – Darling Foundry
The Conseil des arts de Montréal offers a residency program at the Darling Foundry for professional visual artists and curators from the Americas (including Canada but not Quebec). Each year, one artist is awarded a three-month residency and one curator a two-month residency. Each resident receives a grant that contributes towards living expenses, travel fees and production costs.
A studio measuring 60 m2 with accommodation is provided. Washing and cooking facilities are shared with the other resident artists. Residents have access to wood and metal workshops, with technical assistance if need be. In addition, each resident is given the option to participate in open studio events, studio visits by art professionals, networking events, and excursions.
The committee ensures fair representation and consideration of artistic specialization, gender, Aboriginal peoples and cultures from around the world.
