Starting in 2027, the MNBAQ will be equipped with a research, education, and cultural mediation space whose mission will be to drive educational activities for the Musée’s five priority sectors: families, schools, adults, culture, and communities.
Family programming will encourage participation by people of all ages through workshops tailored to each person’s emotional, cultural, and socioeconomic background, as well as their age and individual needs.
Through its in-person and online activities, the Education Through Art Centre will reach out to all elementary and secondary school students. Deeply inclusive, it will offer activities specifically tailored to students living with autism spectrum disorder or learning disabilities.
The Education Through Art Centre will forge a unique connection between the Museum, its collections, its exhibitions, and adult visitors—whether they are college or university students, adults learning French, or people seeking to pursue lifelong learning.
With the goal of making art more accessible to everyone, the Education Center will offer a comprehensive program focused on art and well-being, featuring creative workshops, meditation sessions, yoga classes, and discussion groups for the general public. These initiatives will be tailored to the specific needs of people with disabilities.
Education Through Art Centre for everyone
Every donation helps make art and education accessible to all children. In this new space, they will discover the power of creativity, the joy of sharing, and the self-confidence that art can inspire.
The Education Through Art Centre in the current Charles Baillairgé Pavilion will offer a variety of activities and create projects inspired by best practices in the field of cultural mediation through the arts.
With a focus on programs that promote inclusion and accessibility for all communities, the Centre will put innovation at the heart of its practices, which will include a philosophical approach, wellness through art, and sensitive mediation that focuses on the senses and emotions.
This lively space will welcome people of all ages and backgrounds, from regular visitors to those with special needs, and even members of groups who do not generally get to enjoy the museum experience. This unique location will truly serve the community. See you in 2027!
