est nord est was founded in 1987 by a group of artists. Its name was inspired by its geographic location: a region east of major urban centres. The purpose of est nord est’s residency program is to enable artists in visual arts to have access to a wealth of human resources and unique technical services in an atmosphere that stimulates artistic practice.

Bringing together up to six artists from Quebec, Canada, and throughout the world, our two months residencies take place three times a year: in spring, summer, and autumn. Our top priority is to encourage artistic research and experimentation in contempory art.

Residencies at est nord est are open to artists in visual arts and other disciplines, whether they are emerging artists or established professionals, and to curators who want to submit a thematic residency project. The selection jury is composed of members of the organization and guest art specialists. The programming commitee will meet twice a year. For more information visit the web site www.estnordest.org
