Made Au Québec will launch March 22

Fri 01 Feb, 2013 - News

ELAN's newest project is Made Au Québec. The explosion of Anglo-Québécois artists makes it difficult to keep track of the activity, especially of emerging voices and faces. A lot of francophones are curious about these English-speaking artists. Who are they? What do they have to say? Made au Québec will collect trending stories about newsmakers and present them with summary texts in French. The new Made Au Québec site will be officially launched on March 22. We would also like to thank all those who submitted an entry for our logo design competition. The applicants will be contacted with the results by mid-February.

Fri 01 Feb, 2013 - Director's Message

Pauline Marois, the Premier of Quebec, Maka Kotto, the Minister of Culture, and Nicholas Marceau, the Minister of Finance, announced the creation of a Task Force on Cultural Philanthropy on January 17. This welcome response to the flat-lining of government investment in arts funding was largely ignored by the media. As artists, we are thankful that arts funding has not been cut during this period of deficit reduction, but a future of fixed envelopes will inevitably pit cultural institutions against new generations of emerging artists in a lose-lose competition. Quebec’s Task Force on Cultural Philanthropy is complementary to Montreal’s new Arts-Affaires portal. The business community and private donations can inject new funds and invest them in new ways. These are important initiatives for the future of arts funding in Quebec.
