The Arts Alive! Quebec festival started as an initiative by the English-language Arts Network, a not-for-profit organization that connects, supports, and promotes Quebec’s English-speaking artists and art communities. Over the past years, several regions throughout the province have participated in Arts Alive! Quebec. These festivals have featured their local artistic communities with events reflecting local tastes and customs. Arts Alive! Quebec is an opportunity to come together and to celebrate local English-language creativity while building bridges between English-speaking and French-speaking communities.

This project is made possible by the support of the Government of Canada, Desjardins, and Quebecor.
