Advancing Artistic and Cultural Projects in Bas-Saint-Laurent
The Acte-culture project supports artistic and cultural professionals in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region by enhancing their work conditions and practices. Emphasizing cultural citizenship, it foregrounds the foundational role of arts and culture in social and individual development.
An In-Depth Look at the Acte-culture Project and Its Territorial Partnership Program
The Acte-culture initiative, active since 2020, serves as a nexus for art and culture professionals within the Bas-Saint-Laurent community, aiming to foster improvements in both working conditions and creative practices. By promoting cultural citizenship, the initiative underscores the essential influence of arts and creativity on personal, social, and civic advancement. The project is highly integrative, involving various sectors across the region in its developmental activities. It is intricately linked with initiatives that promote cultural recognition and development, such as the annual cultural gala that celebrates local artistic achievements and projects.
The program benefits from a carefully structured territorial partnership, developed through a triennial agreement involving the CALQ and multiple regional municipalities and cities. Through these strategic collaborations, the program ensures financial investments that are vital for artistic creation, production, and distribution. This fosters a sustainable cultural ecosystem, enhancing professionals' capacity and the cultural vibrancy of the region. The partnerships are designed to support long-term cultural development, renewing triennial agreements to maintain ongoing financial support and administrative oversight.
The goals of the Territorial Partnership Program are multifaceted, aiming to stimulate artistic creation and contribute to the growth and dissemination of local artists and writers. By supporting these creators within their communities, the program ensures retention, thereby reinforcing the local cultural fabric. Importantly, it emphasizes the inclusion of digital technologies in artistic practices, encouraging local artists to innovate and reach broader audiences. Additionally, the program seeks to empower structured artistic organizations that contribute significantly to the cultural development and visibility of the Bas-Saint-Laurent arts and letters, both within and beyond the region.
One of the unique aspects of this program is its mandate that projects include partnerships reflective of community involvement, bridging arts with other community sectors such as the scientific, business, and broader public domains. This fosters a collaborative environment that encourages diverse interactions and interdisciplinary projects, creating a dynamic fusion between arts, people, and communities. Unlike typical CALQ programs, this initiative supports multifaceted projects that integrate various components like research, creation, and dissemination, offering a more holistic support model for artistic endeavors in the region.
Projects proposed under this program are widely announced through CBSL and submitted via the "Mon dossier CALQ" platform. Each proposal undergoes a thorough peer review evaluation based on merit, alignment with program objectives, and a commitment to equitable territorial representation. This ensures that only projects demonstrating excellence and relevance receive the coveted support, optimizing the impact of the program across disciplines and regions.
