Artists’ Residencies

Through its residency program, Place des Arts supports professional artists in their live arts creation projects, offering them a space where innovation and experimentation can come to life. Having privileged access to a rehearsal space that encourages the production of original works is a unique opportunity for artists to push the boundaries of their creativity and bring their artistic visions to life.

To date, the program has hosted several hundred artists. Our rehearsal rooms also graciously host emerging artists from the Société d’avancement de la chanson d’expression française (SACEF) and the Atelier lyrique de l'Opéra de Montréal.

As part of the 2025-2026 cultural season, Place des Arts welcomed Dumas, Olivier Rousseau, Corpuscule Danse, Cirque In Toto, Paco Ziel, Productions Quitte ou Double, Productions Maïgwenn et les orteils, Victoria May, and Laura Brisson in residence. The projects of these creators were chosen for their diversity of disciplines, relevance, and quality.

The Artist Residencies are made possible through the financial support of the Fondation de la Place des Arts.
