Cultural Exchanges
In 1983, the Communauté urbaine de Montréal (CUM) and the
Conseil Régional d'Île-de-France signed a cooperative agreement
to promote economic and social development with a view to improving
the quality of life in both these regions.
In 1990, the two partners developed a cultural agreement
which led to many original projects. Jointly backed by the Conseil des arts de la
Communauté urbaine de Montréal and specialized cultural associations in
Île-de-France, these activities took various forms, while promoting
all areas of contemporary artistic activity.
On January 1, 2002, the CUM made way for the
new Ville de Montréal, terminating the agreement. In future, the Conseil
des arts de Montréal intends to continue these cultural exchanges
with a larger number of municipal cultural organizations around the
world.
