Grant Overview
The Need for Collaboration in Quebec's Arts and Technology

A survey conducted by the Conseil des Arts de Montréal revealed that only 15% of artists utilize digital technologies in their work, highlighting a significant opportunity for collaborative initiatives.
Who are the Stakeholders?
Artists, sculptors, and performers in urban centers like Montreal often lack the necessary technical skills or partnerships to effectively integrate technology into their practice. On the other hand, technology professionals and digital creatives are looking for ways to enrich their work with artistic insights. Bridging this divide is essential for fostering a more innovative and expressive cultural sector.
