OPEN CALL OPENS !
DEAD LINE : FEBRUARY 1, 2026
Atelier Circulaire (AC) invites artists to submit a production residency project for its 2026-2027 programming, for the period from April 1st, 2026 to March 31, 2027.
Atelier Circulaire is an artist-run center, since 40 years, dedicated to excellence in the production, research, education, and dissemination of print-based arts. It aims to preserve and teach traditional engraving techniques while integrating new technologies and contemporary practices related to print-based art.
By providing specialized equipment—including intaglio, relief, lithography, letterpress, screen printing, risography, and laser engraving studios—AC supports the work of visual artists and encourages innovative uses of both new technologies and traditional techniques.
Through its residency program, Atelier Circulaire offers artists from Quebec, Canada, and abroad the opportunity to develop their projects involving printmaking within its production studios, while fostering exchange and the sharing of knowledge within its artistic community.
At the end of their residency period, residents will have the opportunity to present the results of their production process to the public in the members’ gallery (space 517).
Projects are assessed according to the following criteria:
● The artist demonstrates proficiency in at least one printmaking technique and uses this technique to carry out the proposed project;
● The project contributes to the affirmation of print arts within the field of contemporary art;
● The project integrates the exploration of new technologies or contemporary practices related to printmaking;
● The project is feasible based on the equipment available at Atelier Circulaire;
● The project timeline is detailed and realistic for a one-month period
