ABOUT SALON58
Salon58 is a cultural space located in Marsoui (Gaspésie), which focuses on artistic experimentation, multidisciplinarity and proximity to the public, encouraging encounters on a human scale. Produced by Mandoline Hybride, since 2018 the project has hosted artists in residence, intimate concerts and screenings under the stars, as well as various cultural activities. To find out more about the program and the location: mandolinehybride.com/salon58.
Salon58 artistic residencies are shared residencies. The artists are accommodated in individual rooms with their own work desk, while sharing the common spaces during the week (boudoir, living room/piano/movement space, workshop, kitchen). It will therefore be possible to exchange with one or two other artists in residence at the same time. Salon58 lends itself more to thinking, writing, solo movement work and building small set pieces. Access to a large dance studio can be discussed according to the needs of the artist. The place is not equipped to work on lighting, large scenographies, heavy carpentry work, etc. High speed internet is available at Salon58 and is very efficient. However, note that there is no cellular network on site. It takes 5 minutes by car to get the network.
ABOUT LA CHAPELLE SCÈNES CONTEMPORAINES
Located a stone’s throw from bustling Saint-Laurent Boulevard, in the heart of Montreal, La Chapelle was founded in 1990. It is both a space for creation, a center for the presentation of shows and an organization dedicated to the promotion of the living arts, favoring young creation as well as interdisciplinary and alternative forms.
La Chapelle’s programming offers Francophone and Anglophone theatre, contemporary dance, performances, circus arts, music and multidisciplinary works that transcend art forms. Welcoming artists from the local scene as well as those from abroad, La Chapelle is a crossroads for encounters and reflection, a catalyst for contemporary creation, a vehicle for the dissemination of the performing arts in all their diversity and complexity. Guided by the passion to broadcast innovative events and by a commitment to the influence of creative artists, La Chapelle’s mission is to energize the professional environment, to develop a public sensitive to transversal approaches and, above all, to enrich the contemporary artistic heritage.
