Program Description

Inaugurated in the fall 2008 at the Darling Foundry, the Residency of the Americas offered by the Conseil des arts de Montréal fosters an artistic dynamic through the American continent and actively contributes to establishing long-term relationships between the many communities of the Americas. To this day, it has hosted 22 artists and curators in visual arts in Montreal, coming from Brazil, the USA, Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Salvador, Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Canada. Since 2016, the program focusses entirely on art professionals from Latin America and wishes to support emerging creators in particular.
