Artists Claude Arseneault, Elmyna Bouchard, Bosny, Sophie Cabot, Miri Chekhanovich and Leyla Majeri will share their experiments following their residency in Le Chantier: a research project on ecofriendly art practices. Furthermore, the Maison de la culture will host the conclusion of the Arts and eco-responsibilities event series which proposes two collective spaces of dialogue on issues linking art and environment in times of climate crisis.

L’imprimerie is a production artist-run centre dedicated to the practices of print and photography. Deployed between 2020 and 2023, Le Chantier pursues three main objectives: to make our practices more eco-responsible as an organization, to allow the development of innovative artistic practices in print and photography in an eco-design approach and to share knowledge with the broader community.

In a spirit of sharing and studio practices development, we invite you to take part in the events series that will animate the Maison de la culture Maisonneuve. All events are free.
