France Residency

About 

Quartier Éphémère was founded through a cooperation agreement between Quebec and France, therefore naturally hosting numerous artists in residency in 1995. Thanks to the organism's transnational identity, the Darling Foundry has developed privileged relations with France. Since the inauguration of the studios and residencies building in 2006, several programs have fostered transatlantic exchanges and the outreach of artists and curators: the Quebec/Marseille cross-residency with Astérides, the Quebec/Paris cross-residency with the Couvent des Récollets in Paris, the FAWU residency in Montreal, the Canadian curatorial residency in Paris. These residency programs aim to enrich the cultural milieu, create long-term networks between countries and artistic communities, encourage living and profound exchanges in the artists professionnal trajectories so as to allow them to entirely devote themselves to their creation and production.
