and activities that fall within the purview of its artistic and
cultural mission, including:
- education and awareness of the public in
relation to the performing arts, particularly young people;
- accessibility of different segments of
the public to artistic productions from here and elsewhere;
- development of audiences for innovative
projects that Place des Arts may put on, alone or with
partners;
- artistic research, experimentation and
creation.

The Fondation de la Place des Arts:
valuable support for the activities of the
Société de la Place des Arts de
Montréal
The Fondation de la Place des Arts is a major
resource, allowing the Société de la Place des Arts
to fully realize its artistic and cultural mission. In three years,
its financial contribution to these activities has amounted to
$600,000.
Summary list of activities supported by the Fondation in
2010-2011
PdA Junior Series
With a goal of developing new—and notably
young—audiences, and increasing their awareness of the
performing arts, Place des Arts, through a partnership with its
resident companies and other arts organizations, presented the
PdA Junior series. Consisting of some twenty shows
involving dance, music, theatre, puppetry, and song for audiences
of ages 4 to 12, and grounded in the capacity for enchantment and
wonder that is unique to childhood, this highly appreciated series
literally played to packed houses.
Invitations to performances
In order to provide youth of all backgrounds with the opportunity
to be moved and to hope for a better reality, Place des Arts has,
throughout the year and especially around the holiday season,
offered free tickets to disadvantaged youth. Several non-profit
organizations—such as the Centre jeunesse de Montréal,
the Association sportive et communautaire Centre-Sud, and La
Croisée de Longueuil—were involved in the distribution
of these tickets.
Artists in residence
Through its residency programs, Place des Arts offers artists the
opportunity to give free rein to their creativity through the use
of performance halls, rehearsal rooms, and the new Espace culturel
Georges-Émile-Lapalme, either for one or several stages in
their creative process, or for the presentation of their works. In
2010-2011, Théâtre de l’Opsis, Pigeons
International, choreographer José Navas, choreographer Marie
Chouinard, stage director Patrice Coquereau and actor Didier
Lucien, as well as composer Simon Leclerc all worked in one space
or another at Place des Arts, through the Fondation’s
support.
Access to the performing arts
Cultural democratization and access to the arts are central to
Place des Arts’ artistic mandate, and this aspect of the
mission greatly benefited from the inauguration of the Espace
culturel Georges-Émile-Lapalme in February 2011. A varied
and well-developed program is presented free of charge, to the
great delight of the tens of thousands of people who make their way
through the space each day… and who linger to watch and
listen. This large lobby has become a site of quasi-permanent
activity, geared towards the exploration and promotion of the arts
and artists.
