Research and writing residency program for Indigenous artists, curators and researchers 2025
Deadline: March 31, 2025
Thanks to the support of the Indigenous Arts Committee of the Conseil des arts de Montréal, Artexte is proud to launch a call for a research and writing residency on contemporary art. For a period of three to six months, Artexte invites an Indigenous artist, curator or researcher from any area of contemporary art practice to explore its collection of documentary resources, and to contribute to furthering knowledge and research on a subject related to current and recent interdisciplinary art practices. This residency also aims to support the selected resident in the development of their critical art writing practice.
Artexte Collection
Artexte’s collection documents the visual arts milieu since 1965 with a particular focus on practices from the territory known as Canada. Various types of publications can be found, which testify to the artistic practices locally and internationally, as well as ephemera such as posters, pamphlets, invitation cards, press clippings, and audio-visual documentation. For more information about the collection, please visit our website.
