About the Impressions Residency
Since its launch in 2013, this residency has been a springboard for several emerging artists, including Karen Tam, Naghmeh Sharifi, Pansee Atta, Ari Bayuaji, Jobena Petonoquot, Leila Zelli, Nayla Dabaji, Ahreum Lee, Anahita Norouzi, Jinjoo Yang, Santiago Tamayo Soler and Lynn Kodeih. Thanks to the support of the Conseil des arts de Montréal, Chloë Cheuk received a grant of $9,000, which enabled her to carry out research at the MMFA while also benefiting from the mentorship of an MMFA curator.
