Est-Nord-Est (ENE) Artist-Run Centre Residency

Est-Nord-Est (ENE) is an artist-run centre whose mission is to provide an international community of artists and authors in contemporary art with support by offering space and time for research and experimentation, as well as privileged access to local resources and knowhow.

Originally based on the idea of encounters between sculptors with contemporary practices and those using regional traditional skills, ENE now welcomes contemporary visual-arts artists from all disciplines. The residencies at ENE are intended for professional artists, both established and emerging, from all over the world.

The eight-week residency periods, which bring together four artists and one author in the field of contemporary art, are offered in spring, summer, fall and winter. ENE occupies a building designed and built for the residencies of artists and authors. The architectural concept places exchanges, friendly relations, and technical and logistical assistance at the heart of the experience offered to residents.

Duration of the residency is 8 weeks in the following residency periods:

  • Spring: April 21 to June 13, 2025
  • Summer: July 7 to August 29, 2025
  • Fall*: October 6 to November 28, 2025
  • Winter: January 26 to March 20, 2026
