The Prix de la relève – Caisse de la Culture du Conseil des arts de Montréal, which will recognize the efforts of young artists or professional organizations whose actions make a significant contribution to emerging artists.
This prize is accompanied by a $5,000 bursary, offered by the Caisse de la Culture, and will be administered by the Conseil des arts de Montréal, as part of the Outiller la relève artistique montréalaise project.
Whether it is by stimulating the sharing of resources, supporting integration into the workforce, facilitating access to funding, or even by proposing new organizational models, the candidates for the Prix de la relève – Caisse de la Culture must demonstrate that they have, through their actions, contributed to improving the working conditions of young, emerging artists. This prize can be presented to an individual, as well as a collective, cooperative, group, or non-profit organization, as long as he/she/it works primarily in the arts and is based on the Island of Montreal. Candidacies will be reviewed by a jury consisting of a member of the Caisse de la Culture, two emerging artists or cultural workers and two members of the Conseil des arts. They will study the files according to various criteria taking into account, notably, the quality, relevance, influence, and impacts of the actions taken to support the development of emerging artists.
Candidates for the Prix de la relève – Caisse de la Culture must submit their file to the Conseil des arts de Montréal between now and December 15, 2009. Eligibility criteria and the application form are available on the Artère webste: www.artere.qc.ca.
