There’s a New Digital Studio in Town helping to bring your projects to life

We are very excited to announce one of the newest projects added to our roster: The Community Digital Arts Hub (CDAH). The Community Digital Arts Hub is a new project through ELAN and the government of Canada that offers artists and arts and heritage organizations high-quality studio space and equipment rentals suitable for photo, video, sound recording and post-production.

At the heart of this project is providing individuals and organizations with access to the space, the tools, and the training they need to create professional quality media productions.

The digital studio will offer technical support to assist artists and organizations in producing professional quality work as well as training opportunities to build their own digital production capacities.

Come see for yourself! Check out the newly renovated space and meet our team at the CDAH studio launch, happening Thursday, November 10 from 3-6 PM. Click here to RSVP.

Land Acknowledgement

ELAN is an official minority language organization within a country that recognizes two languages as official. ELAN is located in Tiohtià:ke, the original name for Montreal in Kanien’kéha, the language of the Mohawk—also known as Mooniyang, which is the Anishinaabeg name given to the city by the Algonquin. While we are based in this city, our projects have also taken place in many regions across Quebec.

We acknowledge the colonial origin of English and French in Canada, and recognize that both languages benefit from official status throughout the land. The province that we know as Quebec is an amalgamation of the traditional territories of the Innu and Inuit nations, Algonquian nations, as well as the Mohawk nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Kanien’kéha and Anishinaabemowin are but two of the original languages of this province; Atikamekw, Cree, Inuktitut, and Innu-aimun are also among the many Indigenous languages spoken across Quebec as majority languages, all well before French and English.

ELAN acknowledges the important work being done by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to revive the traditional languages of these territories, and their advocacy for the official status of Indigenous languages.
