Diversity Award of the Conseil des arts de Montréal and his partners
Lauréat du Prix de la diversité remis lors du déjeuner du 25e Grand Prix : Rômmel Ribeiro
Five partners, the Conseil des arts de Montréal, CBC Radio 2, MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels), Place des Arts, and Vision Diversité have come together to offer the Diversity Award to an artist or artists' collective from Montreal's cultural diversity working in the world-music sector. Over the course of a one-year tour, the winner will benefit from the partners' help and support in the areas of creation, production, dissemination, and touring. Thanks to this artistic tour, the winner will enjoy two creative residencies and have several opportunities to present his or her artistic work to audiences at MAI and Place des Arts, in collaboration with Vision Diversité, as well as throughout Montreal neighborhoods, as part of Conseil des arts de Montréal en tournée. The Diversity Award also includes a radio recording by CBC Radio 2, the official broadcaster, which will make the podcast available on its website. All of this will be covered by a joint promotion. The estimated value of the award is $25,000. The objective of the Diversity Award is to promote a promising professional artist or artists' collective, still unknown within the arts milieu and by the Montreal public, whose practice reflects a diversity of artistic expressions. With this award, the Conseil des arts de Montréal and its partners wish to encourage the full participation of all artists in the city's artistic life and give a boost to their professional career. Furthermore, this award can help diversify audiences in Montreal's various presentation venues. A jury, formed by a representative of the each of the five partners, will evaluate the submissions' artistic excellence and merit, quality of previous productions, interest of the artistic proposal (originality and innovation), dissemination potential, and authenticity of the musical approach, among others. The winner will be announced on March 23, 2010, during the Grand Prix du Conseil des arts de Montréal luncheon. The Diversity Award replaces the Circuit 514, a similar project that has gives to the Moldovian artist, Sergiu Popa, a gifted accordionist, many opportunities to be seen and heard throughout the Island of Montreal during the 2008-2009 season.
