Place des Arts plays a vital role on the Québec and
Montréal stage. Not only is it at the forefront of the
development of local performing arts and Québec’s
openness to the international artistic world, it is also one of the
key players. Its more than four decades of history are marked by
superb events and discoveries.
As a public organization serving all Quebecers, the
Société de la Place des Arts is devoted to showcasing
the performing arts. It manages five performance halls in
Montréal, as well as the Amphithéâtre de
Lanaudière. Place des Arts is home to major artistic
organizations, and works to make various forms of the performing
arts accessible and to promote Québec’s artistic and
cultural life.
To fulfil its mission, the Société welcomes,
produces and co-produces artistic works from Québec and
abroad, organizes public-awareness and audience-building
activities, provides specific services and specialized technical
equipment to artistic organizations and producers, and lastly,
draws up performance agreements with various partners.
Thanks to an active presence in the artistic milieu and its
strong responsiveness to the needs and expectations of both
audiences and show producers, Place des Arts is a veritable hub of
Montréal and Québec cultural life.
