Creation - L'imprimerie centre d'artistes

An open and inclusive studio 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.

Custom residencies

The Custom Residencies program is open to any creator who wishes to carry out a project with the resources of the center, for a determined period of time. It covers projects that have specific needs or that fall outside of our regular intake parameters. For example, projects that require training, facility-specific technical support, or specific conditions. Selected candidates will be entitled to a discount on all our services.

Applications can be submitted at all times.
