Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Opens Call for Impressions Artist Residency

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) has issued a call for submissions for its Impressions Artist Residency, inviting artists to participate in an eight-week program. This residency provides the selected artist with special access to the Museum, including its archives and its collection, specifically to support research for the development of a future artistic project.

The support offered by the residency is available exclusively during the eight-week period. Artists should note that this support is not extended beyond the designated residency timeframe. The Museum emphasizes that the residency is structured to facilitate focused research and artistic development within this set period.

The dates of the residency are flexible and may be adjusted, provided that both the artist and the Museum agree to the proposed changes. However, the Museum reserves the right to refuse any date changes that would conflict with its activities timetable. This ensures that the residency aligns with the Museum’s operational schedule while accommodating the needs of the artist when possible.

Through initiatives like the Impressions Artist Residency, the MMFA continues its efforts to foster a more inclusive, accessible, and just world. Each project undertaken as part of the residency is seen as contributing to these broader institutional goals, reflecting the Museum’s ongoing commitment to these values in its programming and outreach.
