La Montagnarde
espace de création, ressourcement, découverte
For 25 years, ATSA has been creating programming; mentoring; and producing and presenting works by artists from here and elsewhere as part of its events. It is now time to impart to this expertise a physical presence, a space: a residency at the service of artists and creation, in ATSA’s image, in a spirit of interdisciplinary openness and meeting a flexibility of needs.
To mark its 25th anniversary, ATSA, When Art Takes Action launches a new phase in its history:
La Montagnarde, a residency for creation, renewal and discovery. A residency at the service of artists and their creativity, with a spirit of interdisciplinary openness and able to meet a flexibility of needs. A place where the forest is at the heart of a project for the renewal and inspiration of artists, those struggling due to lack of funds, and newcomers wishing to better understand their new country.
We start off the 2022 season with artists elparo and Chloé Coomans, then will come a call for projects, striking a balance between up-and-coming talent and accomplished artists, diversity, autochthony, and hyper-local, provincial, national and international influences! Expect a commingling of disciplines, as the aim is to think, to create, to start over in the face of the great void that makes all things possible. The precise location remains for now anonymous out of a wish to preserve the tranquility of the creators and the neighbourhood.

Audio trail: Cuisine ton quartier
The Cuisine ton quartier audio trail is an invitation to take a thoughtful, attentive walk and discover the paths and challenges faced by the refugees and immigrants who make up the social fabric of Montreal’s neighbourhoods.
Listen to testimonials by immigrants, social and community outreach workers, members of the host society and committed artists. Participate from home or enjoy an immersive experience in person with a guided audio tour of the neighbourhoods at your own pace.
Seven boroughs have been selected as part of the Ville de Montréal’s initiative of high-priority regions for the inclusion of immigrants (“territoires d’inclusion prioritaires”): Montréal-Nord, Côte-Des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Ahuntsic–Cartierville, Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, Saint-Laurent, Saint-Léonard and Pierrefonds–Roxboro.
And we are thrilled to welcome on board 3 new boroughs: Anjou, LaSalle and Verdun. And since good news always brings more good news, you will soon be able to discover testimonials about issues surrounding francophone migration, in Sudbury and Winnipeg.

The Cuisine ton Quartier project is made possible by support from the Ville de Montréal, the Bureau d’intégration des nouveaux arrivants à Montréal (BINAM), the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) and the Conseil des Arts de Montréal.

Cuisine ton quartier : des parcours à saveur humaine is an inclusive social art project that fosters openness toward others and hopes to diminish racism.

We have had the opportunity to collaborate with the Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario to examine issues related to francophone migration.
Launch in Winnipeg

CABO in Verdun
SIGN UP FOR THE CREATION WORKSHOP FOR YOUR BROWN BIN (PLACES ARE LIMITED)
BINS ARE ON EXHIBIT AT QUAI 5160 - maison de la culture de verdun UNTIL JULY 25
Review of the CABO à Verdun event held June 19
After an initial edition on Plateau Mont-Royal in the summer of 2020, in collaboration with Fred P Corson, ATSA is pleased to once again take up the torch on behalf of the Club des Amoureux des Bacs Organiques (CABO for short, or the club for lovers of food compost bins) for all the neighbourhoods of the borough of Verdun!
CABO is an artistic mobilization project dealing with issues revolving around the sorting of waste. It is based on the unique relationship we have with our brown bin – one of the modern-day citizen’s best friends and an extension of our homes – here subjected to an artistic makeover, a practice that could possibly soon spread across all of Montreal!
ARTISTIC CREATION
On Sunday, June 19 was held an artistic performance by 7 artistes, who created before an audience an original work out of a brown bin! The event took place on the grounds of Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs Church’s presbytery, in Verdun. The public got to observe the entire creative process and the making of the work, and speak with the artists on hand!
EXHIBITION
July 15 to 25
The bins will be on display between July 15 and 25 at Quai 5160 - Maison de la culture de Verdun, to make the public better aware of the underlying environmental cause.
WORKSHOP – PARADE
Saturday, July 23
A day-long workshop on personalizing the brown bin will be held Saturday, July 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the grounds of Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs Church’s presbytery. Registration is required and places are limited (for the registration form, click HERE). The day will be capped by a parade featuring the bins and their respective masters, so everyone can see the food compost bin elevated to the stature it is worthy of!
