Shortly before the pandemic, a small group of Montreal artists were given access to a vacant apartment in a century-old building. They spent time there alone, and later in pairs. Unforgettable conversations emerged—among themselves, but also with the singular space they inhabited.

This summer, DARE-DARE invites you to experience a research blitz in the public space. The micro-residencies aim to question and (re)animate our relationship to reading, archives and exchange.

This residency program runs continuously for 8 weeks. DARE-DARE seeks to foster a deeper, close-knit relationship between a professional artist (who does not reside in the metropolitan area) and the Saint-Henri and Petite-Bourgogne neighbourhoods, and provides dedicated support throughout the residency.
