We are pleased to host Bianccha Philias for a one month residency with artch.

For the past three years, artch host one artist for a paid creation based residency. Production time is still so rarely paid and it’s important to support this creative process of emerging artists. Thanks to the support of Montreal Arts Council, it is our honor to help the work production of Bianccha Philias.
