Studios and studio-apartments
Since its inception in 1994, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) has been highly active in the development of a network of centres devoted to creation, production and artistic renewal offered to artists and writers to enable them to pursue their work under professional conditions.

The network of studios and studio-apartments is one way that the CALQ encourages the presence of Québec artists and their works on the international scene. This residency network has made it possible to expand exchange opportunities with foreign countries and participate in the career development of numerous artists and writers the world over.

The CALQ seeks to offer the artists and writers participating in the program exceptional opportunities for artistic renewal and creation that are hard to achieve otherwise. Residency sojourns offer artists unique personal and professional experiences in which they invest time and energy, and which contribute in a profound manner to their career development and consequently to the enrichment of Québec culture.

As a general rule, only professional artists and writers with at least two years of artistic practice may apply for the CALQ’s studio-apartment residency program. However, any such offer is subject to the proviso of the partners abroad maintaining their commitment.
