Nouaisons artists’ residency
Espace de la diversité is pleased to partner with Nouaisons, an artistic and cultural initiative that organizes artist residencies at the Presbytère de Scott, in the Beauce region.
In 2020, Nouaisons, in collaboration with the Espace de la diversité, will host four authors from minority groups.
The 12-day residencies, anchored in the rural landscape, will offer authors the opportunity to create, while exploring the links between culture and agriculture, art, nature and the environment.
The residencies are aimed at both professional and emerging authors, or those who are engaged in a process of professionalization.
