First time I hear of this Creative Boost thing! 
This is a completely new turnkey outfit from outerspace.  Ready to burst like a magic fireworks in the sky! 
Brought to you by nobody else than the most controversial Dr. Norman Cornett, PhD!   (Google him, it's interesting)
http://schedule.hotdocs.ca/index.php/2009/film/professor_norman_cornett

Their street address is a sleek place on a classy street of Montreal a few blocks from where I am. 
Over the years,  its been a lot of things: an art gallery, a contemporary art gallery, an art contemporary gallery, a gallery contemporary art;  a gallery art contemporary.  
Then it's become a liturgical equipment supply gallery;  then it turned into a contemporary streetwindow mannequin gallery/store.  The place was always nice but mostly empty, thanks to Canada Council grants, etc....  And now,  it's a Creative Boost operation.   

Ask me if I would want to do a residency with this outfit...  !

Would I register?

It depends...

• I wouldn't go there to improve my skills even if there are some apparently good curriculum vitae on the list of staff.

But:

• I would go there to understand the process of moving through and up the art scene.  I think this guy is a real operator.

and

• I would go there if I wanted to find out about Montreal and all the great things happening in the city, like the Montreal Jazz Festival, etc...
  

But

• I wouldn't go if I was worried about my financial health, 'cause the bill will no doubt skyrockett during the stay.

Sounds like the 2-handed economist has suddenly become 4-handed...  -:)

Best,

Guy
