Concours national d’intégration des arts à l’architecture et à l’environnement

The Ministry of Culture and Communications is holding a province-wide competition to create a permanent work at the new Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC) in collaboration with the MAC and the Société de la Place des Arts de Montréal. This is an opportunity not to be missed!

Professional artists in Quebec working in the visual arts and fine crafts who include digital arts and, more specifically, sound art in their practice are invited to apply to this competition, which integrates the arts with architecture and the surrounding environment. The work selected will be a permanent part of the public spaces of the new Museum, which are bright, versatile and unabashedly contemporary.

Sound art can take radically different forms. Linked to speaking, noise, the surrounding environment or movement, it can awaken the imagination, change one’s perception of a space or create a new connection between hearing and sight.

The proposed integration spaces stretch from the basement to the second level of the building, offering a range of architectural contexts.
