ArtExpert.ca team unveils a study concerning the next generation of artists in Montreal

Montreal, March 24th 2010 – The ArtExpert.ca team unveils a study concerning the next generation of artists. This study confirms the feasibility of expanding the facilities of the compagnie des Deux Mondes to better serve the needs for production and performing arts presentations by organizations and emerging companies at “Aux Écuries”.

The present study leaves no room for doubt concerning the need not only to nurture this fertile and indispensible ground, essential to affirming Montreal’s cultural metropolis, but also to invest in new and emerging companies as integral and original sources of dynamic creation.

“This study confirms that there is an entire generation of theater and dance companies, of artists, in desperate need of sustainable funding. In Montreal, in 2008, their combined productions amounted to 405 days with a grand total of 3, 240 hours of training/rehearsal time,” confirmed Louise Poulin, Director of the study and president of ArtExpert.

Pierre MacDuff and David Lavoie expressed their enthusiast at the study’s conclusions:
“This project will grant an entire generation of theatrical performers the tools for production and performance which they have sorely lacked and aims to create a synergy between artistic organizations, a real community in terms of work and shared resources. From the perspective of the public, they will have access to performances that have realized their full potential in adequate material and technical conditions.”

ArtExpert contributes to the creation of a dynamic cultural milieu by supporting cultural and artistic organizations in strategic development and planning. The study can be downloaded by clicking on this link:
