Our Mission<\/h2>\n

The Association des \u00e9coles sup\u00e9rieures d\u2019art du Qu\u00e9bec (AD\u00c9SAQ)\u2019s mission is to promote dialogue and the sharing of ideas, experience and expertise between its members, thereby furthering their development and the advancement of professional training in various artistic disciplines in Quebec.<\/p>\n

L\u2019AD\u00c9SAQ acts as a catalyst to the network\u2019s driving forces. Its activities based on dialogue and the sharing of ideas have led to the realization of various projects and training activities aimed at improving practices within the organizations as well as the advancement of higher education in the artistic disciplines of its members.<\/p>\n

History<\/h2>\n

The Association des \u00e9coles sup\u00e9rieures d\u2019art de Montr\u00e9al (AD\u00c9SAM) was founded in 2002 and became the Association des \u00e9coles sup\u00e9rieures d\u2019art du Qu\u00e9bec (AD\u00c9SAQ) on May 23, 2019.<\/p>\n

Through dialogue and the sharing of ideas, various projects and activities emerged addressing specific needs or proving to be beneficial when jointly carried out. Student activities and customized training, joint arts projects (shows, films, interdisciplinary labs), several guides to support institutions, and helpful information for studies, dissertations, and performance.<\/p>\n

For students and recent graduates, activities are designed to break down the barriers to interdisciplinary exchanges and foster networking. Every year since 2009, AD\u00c9SAQ Day (Journ\u00e9e AD\u00c9SAQ<\/em>) has provided an opportunity for nearly 175 students from the various institutions to partake in a day of training at a school other than their own. This unique experience allows them to discover new dimensions of artistic expression and to connect with other emerging artists.<\/p>\n

In 2013, AD\u00c9SAM celebrated its 10th anniversary with the first edition of a show created to involve all the schools and disciplines. The second edition took place on April 11, 2015, at Club Soda in Montreal, this time as part of the Festival Vue sur la Rel\u00e8ve<\/em>. <\/p>\n

In 2017, for Montreal\u2019s 375th anniversary , the Association produced a short film entitled ASPIRATIONS<\/em>, an ambitious joint project carried out in collaboration with emerging artists and showcasing all the disciplines taught in our member schools.<\/p>\n

In 2019 and 2020, the Association and 9 participating schools ran a campaign for the promotion of the French language, reaching 4,000 students and employees. The release of the documentary Cr\u00e9er en fran\u00e7ais<\/em> on the television channel of Savoir m\u00e9dia also enabled the general public to gain an understanding of the language issues faced by students within the network.<\/p>\n

In 2021, as part of a project on the ethical, legal and professional use of social networks, AD\u00c9SAQ produced a series entitled Artistes et r\u00e9seaux sociaux : une relation d\u2019amour-haine?<\/em>, primarily for an art student audience, but also instructive for artists and even social network users. The video capsules deal with self-promotion on social networks, their time-consuming aspect, undesirable comments, the question of copyright and the dissolving of the boundary between the private and professional spheres. Twelve artists share their experiences and thoughts. Knowledge and advice are provided by eight experts from different fields: digital communications and marketing, psychology, philosophy and copyright. The project, which is part of Quebec’s Plan culturel num\u00e9rique, also delivered the Guide pour l\u2019\u00e9laboration d\u2019un protocole d\u2019utilisation des r\u00e9seaux sociaux<\/em> to the administrations of member schools. The project won the 2022 Je c\u00e9l\u00e8bre, donc je suis<\/em> award in the Training and skills development<\/em> category, a Comp\u00e9tence Culture award financially supported by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Qu\u00e9bec and the Conseil des arts de Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n

In 2022-2023, AD\u00c9SAQ is the main partner of Comp\u00e9tence Culture’s Culture et moi<\/em> project, which consists in a vast campaign to promote and enhance the value of the arts and culture professions, in partnership with the Government of Quebec.<\/p>\n
