We are a non-profit organization, an artist-run centre. So most of the board of directors is made up of craft artists, as our vocation is related to crafts. We collaborate a lot with the Maison des métiers d'art de Québec. In addition to sharing the same building, we have the same interests and clienteles. As a result, we have many projects, artist residencies, exhibits and conferences in common. We work on that jointly with the Maison des métiers d'art de Québec.
Centre Materia, located in the heart of Saint-Roch, is surrounded by a number of different artist-run centres. We have already met with the representatives of the Méduse organization, which brings together many other artist-run centres. We also have partnerships with private galleries. We are trying to include them in peer juries, for example, to select artists who will have exhibits. We try to select from a group of people who have expertise in the area.
