Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ)

Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec approached Acme Studios on the recommendation of Arts Council England to manage their six-monthly residencies in London.

The inaugural residency began in 2009 and provides a work/live studio in Bow, E3, an area at the centre of East London's thriving art scene, in close proximity to Bethnal Green and Hackney Wick.

The accommodation includes an open plan kitchen and large living area with a separate mezzanine bedroom and study area with views overlooking the 2012 Olympic stadium. The Bow area also houses Acme international residencies from Australia, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, providing the selected multi-disiplinary artist with the opportunity to make links with other international artists.

Current Artist: Hélène Lord
