Cultural Promotion

The Goethe-Institut promotes culture of all kinds. We support the exchange of artists between Canada and Germany and help to make German culture accessible in Canada.

Residency programs in Canada

A residence abroad gives artists the opportunity to gather valuable experience and inspiration for the further development of their work. A new environment and encounters with artists from other cultural backgrounds offer ideal conditions for expanding one's own creativity, inspiring the further development of artistic processes and helping to build an international network at the beginning of a worldwide career.
