A rich public program, created with our creative partners
Making art and culture accessible to all. That's what drives us. And the same applies to our collaborators, who work with us to create a multitude of free activities in our indoor and outdoor public spaces, which are animated year-round.
Public art circuits in collaboration with Partenariat du Quartier. Musical shows and 5 à 7 events featuring our Montreal university graduates. Visual and digital art installations presented in collaboration with organizations such as PHI, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Montréal en histoire and Mutek.
