An open and inclusive creation space, where artists and creators of all backgrounds can come and experiment without constraints; a conducive environment where (almost) anything is possible, built around a constantly evolving eclectic and vibrant artistic identity
Customized residency project
This program, open year-round, is for any creator who wishes to carry out a project with the centre’s resources, for a specific duration. Selected members will be entitled to preferential rates on the centre’s services. L’imprimerie is designed to support projects with specific needs; for example, projects that require training or technical support specific to our facilities, or projects that need specific conditions that generally fall outside our regular parameters or that promote our mission.
To submit a project, candidates must send their application to art@limprimerie.art.
Applications must include:
- An artist’s statement and project outline, including technical needs
- An up-to-date resume
- Visual documentation, along with a brief description of contents
- Up-to-date membership is required when submitting and for the duration of the project.
Research and creation residencies
Tromsø / Montreal Exchange Project
L’Imprimerie is proud to announce its first Quebec-Norway international exchange. In October 2020, three Montreal-based artists will fly off to Tromsø to participate in a 4-week residency at Prima Ink Studio. This residency will be a opportunity to stimulate research, and to facilitate the transmission of knowledge regarding eco-conscious printing and photographic practices. In this regard, L’Imprimerie will focus on projects proposing health-safe and environment-friendly techniques and materials.
Submissions deadline: November 25, 2019

Showcase
L’Écrin
Since June 2018, artists Caroline Boileau and Stéphane Gilot are taking over L’imprimerie’s storefront—an adaptable exploration space overlooking Sainte-Catherine Street East—by integrating to it an architectural structure that is more creation laboratory than exhibition space. L’imprimerie’s members are invited to take possession of this unique space by submitting proposals for installation works. All media are welcome: print, photography, drawing, sculpture and performance, with a strong focus on hybrid practices that use paper as primary material.
