We’re delighted to share with you, in priority, the 2026-2027 residency program! This year, we received 482 applications for the artist residency call and 36 applications for the writer residency call.

The 2026-27 residency program will kick off with the presence of artists Florencia Sosa Rey (Montréal), Heather Rattray (Toronto), Kinga Michalska (Montréal), Sara A.Tremblay (Orford), and author Nima Esmailpour (Toronto).

The summer season will be marked by the presence of artists Diyar Mayil (Montréal), Ruby Reding (Rotterdam), Sun Forest (Vancouver) and Xavier Orssaud (Paris), as well as author Katie Lawson (Toronto). Sharing a conceptual relationship with materials—whether natural or artificial—this group develops approaches that construct counter-narratives and pave the way for forms of storytelling that transcend the human.

Our fall residency will reunite Aurélia Noudelmann (Amsterdam), Frida Jiaying Chen (Montréal), Krystle Silverfox (Whitehorse), Pedro Barbáchano (Montréal) and author Lucie Camous (Aubervilliers). Drawing on their personal perspectives, these residents explore stories from marginalized communities and examine the tools and institutional frameworks that determine which stories are highlighted and how.
