This work, sculpture, or installation must meet the main execution criteria of engaging with the landscape, creating a dialogue with the materials of the site, and offering visitors a meaningful sensory experience of the mountain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Professional artists and artist collectives from the Eastern Townships are therefore invited to submit a work that pays particular attention to the materials chosen, their origin, their transformation, and their relationship to the territory, understood as a living environment with which to engage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The Call for Proposals will run until Monday, June 1<\/strong><\/span><em>.<\/em> All <strong>details &amp; terms<\/strong> are available online on the DesPr\u00e9s website <a href=\"https:\/\/espacedespres.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Appel-de-projets-2026-Mont-Sutton-DesPres-vr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here (french only)<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To submit their applications, artists must complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/espacedespres.ca\/artistes\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>form on our partner\u2019s website<\/strong><\/a> <strong>(french only)<\/strong> within the prescribed timeframe.
