General Members Meeting of Res Artis
The Americas: Independent Artistic Practices
in the Era of Globalization

October 6th through 10th, 2010, in Montréal and Québec City (Canada)

The 2010 Conference will examine the state of residencies in the Americas by taking stock of the experiences, local initiatives, and self-management models impacting methods of production and distribution, as well as the creative contexts for contemporary work. Our intention is to allow Conference participants to meet the most representative interlocutors from the Americas' vast cultural scene and to understand the stakes and factors both distinguishing and uniting them.

The Conference will be held at the Just for Laughs Museum / Musée Juste Pour Rire. An optional day trip to Quebec City is scheduled for the 10th.
