Mentors at this Grant Spa will go through your grant application and offer individual feedback. They can look into your written content, budget and supporting material. They can also help with clarifying how to best organize your project according to the different sources of fundings available (mostly the Conseil des arts de Montréal, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Canada Art Council).
The Studio 303 SPAs – Once a month, our studio becomes a coworking space. With tables set up around the studio, participants are invited to work on their own things in their own time.
Each SPA centers around a specific topic, with relevant mentors present to answer questions and share their expertise.
The schedule and set up is designed to recreate a day at the spa: a quiet space with foot baths and massage devices, yoga mats and cushions for stretching and rest, and a community lunch midday (gluten-free & vegan)!
MENTORS // Mari Deckers + Brice Noeser from La Machinerie
Interested in poetry and the possibility of playing with words from a very young age, Brice Noeser became attached to languages and the invention of languages to create his own worlds. He then crossed paths with dance and made it his discipline in Quebec. While pursuing various creation and production projects with collaborators in Quebec and internationally, his career is enriched by different professional experiences that connect him to his interest in language. Since 2020, he has been perfecting his management and governance skills through his role as assistant to the director at Créations Estelle Clareton.
Mari Deckers is Studio 303’s co-director. She has worked for AlterHéros, L’R des centres de femmes du Québec, Réseau Koumbit, Glass Collective and Sidetracks (which she co-founded). She is also a visual artist, pursuing her silkscreening practice as an artist and instructor. Trained in active listening, non-violent communication and anti-oppression, Mari is involved in various community initiatives and collective creative projects.
