Mingan Project

The Mingan Project is a collaborative artistic residency bringing together artists Chantal De Serres (abstract painting) and Catherine Plante (naturalist illustration). It will take place over a one-month period in Havre-Saint-Pierre and on the islands of the Mingan Archipelago in the summer of 2026.

Video capsules to document our experience

Before and during our artistic residency, video capsules will be produced by Chantal De Serres to document our experiences.

Here we go!

It is with great excitement that we announce our departure for Havre-St-Pierre on June 15, 2026.

Our program for one month:

  • Three days a week, we will go to the Mingan Islands to make sketches, photographic and video captures, as well as observations of the territory.
  • The rest of the time will be dedicated to studio work located on the second floor of the Maison de la culture de Havre-Saint-Pierre. This space will be set up as an open and evolving place, allowing the public to follow the ongoing project.

Our artistic residency will end on July 17, 2026.
