Logos and visibil­ity standards

Arts organizations that receive operating grants from the Conseil must mention this funding in their information, promotional, or advertising material, both printed and electronic, in acknowledgement of the use of public funds for arts activities.

Organizations that receive project grants must only reference the Conseil’s contribution for the duration of the project.

The Conseil requires that a written reference be prominently visible in written promotional material, press releases, newsletters, social networks, and the website of the artist, collective, or organization.

Two suggested wordings are as follows

“[Name of artist or organization]” thanks the Conseil des arts de Montréal for its financial support.”

“The creation of this work was made possible thanks to funding from the Conseil des arts de Montréal.”
