DESCRIPTION

In accordance with its mission, the Conseil wishes to identify, acknowledge and support inclusive practices that promote the involvement and engagement of artists, cultural professionals and underrepresented, excluded or marginalized audiences.

The Conseil strives to ensure that culture is accessible to all Montrealers, respecting the dignity and autonomy of each individual.

Financial support is granted through the following program components:

1 – Financial support to submit a grant application or apply for a Conseil award

2 – Financial support for accessibility costs of a project funded by the Conseil

3 – Financial support for accessibility costs to receive audiences for a project funded by the Conseil
