Support the MAC

“Located in the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal is a dynamic, welcoming place that allows us to take advantage of its extensive collection and that offers us major exhibitions. On the cusp of its transformation, it is preparing to undergo a renewal in order to become an essential cultural venue in our much-loved city.”

“The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal is very successful in fulfilling its important mission of promoting contemporary art and extending its reach to the Montréal and Québec community as well as to the many tourists who come here. In addition to providing a superb showcase for works created by our local talent, the MAC also enables visitors to appreciate the talent of a great many Canadian and international artists.”

Among other things, the pandemic has taught us that life without Art amplifies the emptiness… With its ambitious expansion project, the MAC is responding to and nourishing Montrealers’ interest in contemporary art. I am delighted to have an opportunity to help the MAC expand its reach in the years to come. It gives me great pleasure to join the Fondation du Mac in supporting the Museum’s cultural and educational mandate.

“For me, the Fondation du MAC is an opportunity to contribute to the development of one of the most important Quebec and Canadian institutions in contemporary art.”

“I am honoured to be named as part of the wonderful Fondation du MAC family. The MAC is a museum that is essential to the cultural life of Montréal and the cultural life of Québec. It’s a museum that educates us, that sometimes challenges us, that opens up new horizons for us. In short, it’s a museum that always makes us think and, in these times we’re living through, that is crucial. The Foundation has an important mission to support the MAC, and so it’s with great enthusiasm that I accept my new position as the Foundation’s new Chair of the Board. As the MAC moves ahead with its major transformation project, this is a pivotal time for the Fondation du MAC, which will face many challenges in the coming years.”

“Now more than ever, art gives us ways of opening up to the world, staking a claim, exchanging views, erasing the borders between us and challenging the status quo. We are fortunate to benefit from an institution like the MAC, which is dedicated to contemporary art in Montréal and supports the next generation of artists, and it’s an honour to be able to be part of it.”

“I am delighted to join the Fondation du MAC after many years of involvement with the Collectors Symposium. In these uncertain times, Art is more than ever essential to life, to dreams and to the future. The great institution that is the MAC plays a central role in the dissemination of art in Quebec and Canada. In this period of great development for the Museum, it is even more important to support it.”

“It is with great pleasure that I join the Board of Directors of the Fondation du Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. For me, the MAC is a place for reflection, encounters and discoveries. It is an institution that pushes us out of our comfort zone. My Cartesian mind as a finance specialist likes to be pushed around and contemporary art allows us to be destabilized in order to better innovate. I take this new mandate to heart. Art brings people together and I feel privileged to be part of the MAC family.”
