WORKSHOP MISSION
The goal is to unleash the full artistic potential of our members and thus, within a fully artistic and exploratory context, to be inscribed in a societal and political framework when it comes to the recognition and inclusion of persons living with intellectual disabilities.
THE ARTISTIC DISCIPLINES
The visual arts, collage, comic strips, music, singing, theatre, and dance.
EXPOSITION SEMAINE DU HANDICAP 2020

D'UN ŒIL DIFFÉRENT EXHIBITION 2020
As part of the 30th Quebec Intellectual Disability Week, the Écomusée du fier monde hosted a magnificent exhibition entitled D'un œil différent. D'un œil différent highlights works by emerging or professional artists with or without an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder. The event took place from 12 to 22 March 2020.
The works of 11 artists from Parrainage Civique Montréal were exhibited during this edition! We are very proud of their great achievements! These works were created by our artists during the winter 2019 session of the PCM visual arts workshop.
Every year, several hundred people flock to discover these new, inspired and precious works! During the vernissage, on March 12, 2020, 500 people came. The PCM team, many members as well as artists and sponsors were there!
On March 12, 2020, our artists had the pleasure of discovering their works framed by our partner Frame & Canvas Picture Framing. Their contribution to the project has made it possible to magnify the achievements of our members, who could not be prouder! This is the second year that Frame & Canvas Picture Framing, has supported this Project of Parrainage Civique Montréal, we thank them for it! A big thank you also to the Roger Roy Foundation, which has granted funding to PCM for, among other things, the beautiful project that is D'un œil different.
As the lockdown measures have forced the exhibition to remain closed to the public, it is now available online, via an interactive tour that you can discover by clicking on the button below.
