 After more than 25 years of existence, the city’s cultural dissemination network has a new name: Accès Culture
- To commemorate the fact that accessibility to
culture is the purpose of the network
- To highlight the existence of this unique and completely municipal network dedicated to disseminating culture.
Mission
When the cultural development policy was adopted, the city and its boroughs reiterated their desire to provide access to culture by updating the network’s mission and operations.
“In regards to cultural dissemination, the mission of the city and its boroughs is to ensure that citizens have access to culture based on the principles of democracy and equity, as well as to foster citizens’ participation in cultural life, which contributes to the vitality of their environment and Montréal’s growth as a cultural metropolis.”

Common projects
In addition to their respective schedules of events, Accès Culture presenters host or develop projects together that are presented in halls across the network. These events, often carried out in collaboration with partners, involve a number of disciplines — dance, song and film — and give selected artists and organizations the chance to perform and meet their audiences in different boroughs.

The network in the summertime
The city has a long tradition of outdoor cultural activities, as evidenced by 80 years of the Campbell Concert Series, 55 years of the Théâtre La Roulotte and 50 years of the Théâtre de Verdure. In addition to these activities throughout Montréal’s neighbourhoods, municipal presenters get a breath of fresh air each summer thanks to special programs in the parks of each of Montréal’s boroughs.
