About this call

The Grantham Foundation for the Arts and the Environment, the Pavillon de l’Arsenal and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) award a CA$8,000 grant to a Quebec artist whose visual arts or architectural research practice engages with environmental issues. The award includes an eight-week research and experimentation residency in April and May 2027 at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal, Paris’ center for architecture and urban planning, in France. Projects explore the links between artistic creation, architecture, the environment and territories in the era of climate change.
