The Conseil des arts et de la culture de Vaudreuil-Soulanges (CACVS) is launching a call for projects for the artistic residency Regards: l'artiste au coeur de son territoire. The deadline for submissions is Monday, October 23 at 11:59 pm.

Submitting an application

Interested artists or collectives may submit a dossier containing the following elements:

• An artistic curriculum vitae (including a link to the website or social networks, if applicable);

• A description of the proposed creative project, in relation to the location and its environment, and the proposed schedule;
• An exhaustive list of technical requirements (equipment, furniture, materials, etc.) for the project;

Projects will be evaluated according to the richness of the proposal in the context of an urban artistic residency. Proposals from all disciplines are accepted, subject to compatibility with the venue.

The space is available from November 13, 2023. The residency will last 10 weeks, excluding the holiday season (December 24 and 31, 2023).
