Atelier Céladon is a non-profit organization. We value projects for their making-of and how those formative concepts can create new contexts for people to interact. Based in Montreal, Céladon represents creators through providing a platform that extends beyond what an individual can manage, and believing in growth through self-driven participation. Support we provide includes but is not limited to workshops and gatherings organized based on the needs of its members, with a focus on collaboration as a means of social organization. Céladon members retain the rights to their cultural production, and anyone is welcome to become a member.
Atelier Céladon prioritizes supporting artists who are underrepresented by mainstream media production, including but not limited to the lived experiences of racialized and gendered bodies. We place emphasis on process-based work, in that artistic creation can happen through collaboration and movement without necessarily designating a completed set of art objects as an end goal.
À des fins purements artistiques et sociales, et sans intention de gain pécuniaire pour ses membres, Atelier Céladon a pour objet :
d’organiser des collaborations et des rassemblements d’artistes, d’organisatrices et d’organisateurs communautaires autour des questions liées à l’art contemporain diasporique et autochtone,
de promouvoir les travaux artistiques créés par des personnes sous-représentées dans la scène montréalaise, québécoise ou canadienne,
d’encourager la diversité des travaux artistiques dans la scène montréalaise, québécoise et canadienne, en valorisant les techniques et les concepts artistiques non-conventionnelles, ainsi que les voix marginalisées.
