Les Printemps du MAC 2025

The event is now over

The 17th edition of Les Printemps du MAC, under the theme of Alter Ego, will be held at La Nesra next April 11th. This is an occasion to enjoy an evening where art and identity intertwine, and where the traditional vision of oneself gives way to the multiple facets of being.

Contemporary art pushes boundaries, revealing the rich constellation of ever-evolving selves at the heart of each person. Alter Ego invites you to embrace this idea, with an evening designed to blur the lines between exterior and interior, art and being.

Alter Ego is a testament to the belief that art is not just a reflection of society: it is a space for innovation and self-discovery. By attending this unique evening, you help challenge norms and spark conversations.

In addition to enjoying an open bar service offering light meals in a unique setting, and a DJ-animated ambience, participants will have the opportunity to network and discover the new Printemps du MAC auction concept. The auction features works by emerging artists, mentored by artist Yann Pocreau.

Organized by a volunteer committee of young professionals, co-chaired by Catherine Martel, Director, brand innovation and growth, at Haus of Park, and David-Marc Bouchard, General Director and Associate, at TROUVÉ – Recruitment firm, this event is not just a celebration of art but an essential opportunity to support the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC). Your participation directly contributes to the growth and continued success of contemporary art, by supporting the next generation of artists and art’s influence.

The Fondation is thrilled to receive the gracious support of our honorary copresidents: Kerianne Boulva, Oncologist Surgeon, CHUM, Meriem Mehdaoui, General Director at PBY Capital, Emmanuel Phillipe, Private Wealth Advisor, National Bank

I aspire to see Montreal shine through its museums and its artistic dynamism. It's up to us to rally our community around this noble goal.

My involvement with the MAC represents a unique opportunity for me to surround myself with passionate people for whom art is much more than a simple form of expression, but a true value and a way of life. Art thus becomes an essential driving force that contributes to building resilient and evolved societies, while preserving history, collective memory and artistic heritage. This commitment plays a key role in introducing young people to the arts, fostering their creativity and expressing their identity. Such individuality is essential to creating a community rich in culture, dialogue and contrast, in a world where difference is not always celebrated. As an avid contemporary art lover myself, I aspire to see Montreal shine through its museums and artistic dynamism. It's up to us to rally our community around this noble goal.
