Residencies Practical Information

Studio XX favours interdisciplinary approaches and welcomes projects created or directed by women artists or collectives working in collaboration with other professionals. This axis responds to the growing number of trans-disciplinary projects and their inherent technological challenges and complexities. Selected projects must be undertaken using Studio's available resources (equipment, technical knowledge, financial resources).

All submissions are reviewed by a Selection Committee. Selection of applicants is also based on at least two out of the three following criteria:

• Offering significant support and at an important point of the artist's development
• Resonant with Studio XX's priorities in terms of technical experimentation
• Relevant, captivating expression of theoretical, political and/or social engagement

Residencies are eight weeks in length. For accepted proposals, Studio XX offers:

• A $800 artist's fee
• 45 hours of technical support ($1125 value)
• Access to the Studio's equipment ($3335 rental value)
• Possibility to participate in certain group workshops ($200-300 value)
• Distinct working space for the artist and her instructor

Studio XX will disseminate the artist's project on its web site, with an artist's presentation to be given within its Femmes br@nchées Salon Series in the year following completion of the project. For participants working from afar, the presentation will take place on-line via streaming or chat.

Residencies do not include travel costs, accomodation, neither per diem. The artist is responsible for her living arrangements while in Montreal.
