The artist at the Centre

As an artist-run center, CIRCA art actuel is a presentation space managed by and for artists and cultural actors. In addition to its dissemination mandate, the Centre also advocates an artist-centered approach: “The artist at the center”. This means that the artist is at the center of its concerns, its activities and the community.

In this regard, CIRCA is committed to the artist member by organizing networking sessions and studio visits, by offering diversified expertise to accompany artists in their careers and by developing projects aimed at promoting the artist outside the centre.

If the center is so dynamic and its programming continues to grow, it is thanks to its members! Their involvement is very important for CIRCA art actuel, and constitutes a very invigorating artistic community.
