Call fo artists 2026

Participate in the next edition of the artch festival as an artist!

Since 2018, nearly 150 artists have been selected by artch.

Being part of artch unlocks an array of exceptional opportunities: 72 hours of training in artistic entrepreneurship, a $3,000 grant, and a group exhibition in the heart of downtown Montreal, all designed to propel the careers of emerging contemporary artists.

The call for the 9th edition is officially open and closes on January 26, 2026. Applicants are expected to receive a response in April 2026.

Stay tuned… Throughout the fall and winter, we will share tips and best practices for responding to the call.

artch offers an opportunity to exhibit in a module as well as to perform. Candidates who wish to apply for both a module and a performance can fill out the form twice, selecting the appropriate project (module or performance). If the candidate is selected, artch will contact you later to let you know which project you were chosen for.

We look forward to learning about your project!
