CERCLE CARRÉ
Open to our neighbourhood and the city that surrounds us, we strive to be at the centre of an artistic, human lifestyle – one that is dynamic, vibrant, inclusive and
- sustainable. Furthermore, in striving to extend our
welcome to national and international expertise, we have reserved a 49th apartment specifjcally for an artist- in-residence, in hope of subsequently increasing our exchanges with artists from Québec, Canada and abroad. We want and encourage productive encounters between artists from here and abroad, thereby contributing to their respective professional development as well as the cultural infmuence of both their country and in Québec.

HousinG CooperatiVe For artists and Cultural worKers, Cercle Carré combines, in one building, a living space (48 apartments on six fmoors) and a multidisciplinary artist space for performing arts and emerging practices. Located at 36 Queen Street, our cooperative has, since the very beginning, aligned itself in a perspective of cultural networking and sharing. The fjfty-something artists and cultural workers who live in the cooperative hail from all artistic expressions and cultural backgrounds. The multidisciplinary artist space, known as Espace Cercle Carré, aims to present to the public an artistic vision of quality – one where research and creativity are at the heart of its concerns and with a particular attention to emerging artists.
