The Conseil des arts de Montréal offers a residency program at the Darling Foundry for professional curators from the Americas. Each year, one curator is awarded a two-month residency. Each resident receives a grant that contributes towards living expenses, travel fees and production costs.

 

The Darling Foundry, located in Old Montreal (Quebec, Canada), is an alternative visual arts complex with an outstanding architectural design. The Darling Foundry provides various opportunities for research, creation, production, and exhibition. Its multifaceted spaces provide room for private studios, residency studios, technical workshops, gallery spaces, a restaurant and offices over a 3500 m2 surface.

 

A studio measuring 60 m2 with separate living accommodation and common living spaces are provided. In addition, the curator is given the option to participate in open studio events where a presentation of his research can be organized, studio visits by art professionals, networking events, and excursions.

 

The residency includes:
- Airfare (max CAN$1,200)
- A live-in studio for two months from May 1 to June 30TH, 2012
- A stipend of CAN$250 per week

 

The committee ensures fair representation and consideration of artistic specialization, gender, Aboriginal peoples and cultures from around the world.
