The Intercultural Encounters
is an initiative of Culture pour tous to valorize professional artists from ethnocultural communities within the institutional arts and culture network.
The first three editions of the Intercultural Encounters
(2005-2008) were produced
by Culture pour tous with the financial participation of the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles du Québec and Canadian Heritage.
Culture pour wishes to thank all the artists and organisms who helped making these three
last editions.
