The Cultural Buffet is back this year!
The Journées de la culture have grown out of the necessity to provide everyone with access to arts and culture, which are both the foundation of social cohesion, identity and cultural vitality, and engines of economic development. Join the thousands of artists, craftspeople and cultural workers throughout Quebec who go out each year to make the Journées de la culture the biggest “happening” to promote access to art and culture in North America. Be part of the movement and show the importance arts and culture hold for you by offering accessible, interactive and festive activities as a token of your community commitment.

 To improve your program, or simply create a constructive and interactive activity as part of the Journées de la culture, Culture pour tous is inviting municipalities to join the project Je m’affiche pour la culture! This activity provides a stage for your citizens—by way of photography and the Web—to voice the significance of culture in their lives. The testimonials and photographs gathered during this project will become part of an impressive virtual online gallery. For more information see: www.jemaffichepourlaculture.com.
In the spirit of the 14th edition of the Journées de la culture, which is just starting up, Culture pour tous invites you to adopt the resolution proclaiming the last Friday of September and two following days as the Journées de la culture. To date, 280 municipalities have followed suit and signed the Journées de la culture municipal declaration. For more details see our site: www.journeesdelaculture.qc.ca.
