They aim to make culture accessible to all Montrealers throughout the city. The multidisciplinary program highlights emerging and established professional artists, and reflects the diversity of the city’s population. You can attend events for free or for an affordable price. A wide range of art forms are staged at many types of venues (performance halls, exhibition halls, churches, community centres, parks and public squares, etc.). Every borough’s cultural agents develop the programming for their respective territory. Their choices are based on local specificities, such as the demographic, available facilities, geographic characteristics and the priorities set as part of the cultural development plan.
