This mentoring program guides them through themes such as copyright, the different niches and art markets, financing artistic projects, communications, networking, and more.
The artch festival offers to new artists a chance to be introduced and take place within the artistic communities of Quebec. Beyond the festival, we create for them multiple side projects to let them exist fully throughout the province.
With the help of many partners, artch has produced over fourty events, exhibitions and activities. Those collaborations are deeply precious, as they promote our artist’s works within different environments all while supporting their practices and evolution in their art.
