Education Through Art & Culture

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
Loyal to its vocation of acquiring and promoting the works of past and present local and international artists, the mission of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is to attract as many and as diversified visitors as possible by providing privileged access to a universal artistic heritage.

Founded in 1860, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts was one of the first establishments in North America to assemble an encyclopaedic collection worthy of the appellation. Over the course of its existence, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts has accumulated a collection of nearly 35 000 objects dating from antiquity to the present day. Collections include paintings, sculptures, graphic works, photographs and decorative art objects.

Espace Libre, Montreal
Espace Libre is a place for the creation and dissemination of all forms of art that question and provoke the practice of theatre with new interpretations of text, body, voice, sound and space. The most recent innovative and unusual works that seek and take risks off the beaten path are put forward.

Since its foundation in 1981, Espace Libre has fostered an impressive number of creations. Its ongoing mandate is to share strong, diversified and sometimes provocative scenic adventures that remain significant and essential for the general public.

Nouveau Théâtre Expérimental (NTE), Montreal
The Nouveau Théâtre Expérimental was founded in 1979 by Robert Claing, Robert Gravel, Anne-Marie Provencher and Jean-Pierre Ronfard.

NTE became a major player on Quebec's theatrical scene as a creative theatre, a space for unusual experiences, a congenial theatre, and a voice for promoting new artists. Alexis Martin became co-director in 1999, followed by Daniel Brière in 2003. Their mandate is not only to develop a theatre for creative research, but to do so in an atypical manner by continually striving to push the limits of convention and established methods in order to return to the essence of theatrical creation.

NTE is a unique space for invention and freedom, a model and inspiration for a good number of creative artists.
