Hors Cadre
The philanthropic circle for contemporary art enthusiasts
Exclusive meetings with artists, privileged access to the collections and a community that shares your passion.
Hors Cadre brings together philanthropists, collectors and enthusiasts who wish to expand their network, deepen their knowledge of contemporary art and support the MAC.
Visit private collections in the company of their owners, meet artists in their studios and engage with the Museum’s curators. Reserved for members and their guests, depending on the membership package chosen, these experiences bring you closer to the art world and foster connections between people who share your interests.
Your donation supports the MAC’s acquisitions and helps to enrich a public collection for current and future generations.
Exclusive events, a dedicated community
Hors Cadre offers more than ten events a year that bring you right to the heart of contemporary art: tours of private collections, studio visits and exclusive discussions with the MAC’s curators.
Alongside collectors, philanthropists and leading figures from the art and business worlds, share your passion and forge connections within a circle that helps to raise the Museum’s reputation.
This exclusive programme is organised around three complementary themes.
Au cœur de l'institution
Get behind the scenes at the MAC and other arts institutions. Connect with artists, curators and experts, and discover the collections, projects and initiatives that shape the contemporary art scene.
Collection’elles
Discover art through the perspectives and stories of the women shaping the art world. Collection’elles shines a light on artists, collectors, and gallerists, as well as practices that explore issues and perspectives related to women and femininity.
Nouveaux territoires
Explore Montreal’s art scene right where it is being created and transformed. Discover bold artistic practices, new ways of creating and collecting, and the ideas and technologies that are shaping the future of contemporary art.
