The Government of Canada supports the presenter Odyscène

SAINTE-THÉRÈSE, QC, Jan. 11, 2019 /CNW/ - The Government of Canada is committed to promoting the presentation of the arts from coast to coast to coast, in both rural and urban communities. Arts presenters help Canadians discover and appreciate artists in various disciplines.

The Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism, today announced $30,000 in funding for the organization Odyscène.

Each year, Odyscène offers residents of Sainte-Thérèse and the surrounding area diverse performing arts programming (song, music, dance, creative theatre, comedy and variety shows), much of which is intended for schools and families. The organization presents its annual programming at three locations: Théâtre Lionel-Groulx, Cabaret BMO Sainte-Thérèse and Salle Pierre-Legault.

This funding, provided through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund, will enable Odyscène to present various performances and activities as part of its 2019–20 programming.

Quotes

"Year after year, Odyscène has offered residents of Sainte-Thérèse and the surrounding area an array of amazing performances featuring many Quebec and Canadian artists. Our government is proud to help Odyscène present audiences of all ages with diverse, quality artistic programming that highlights local talent."

—The Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism

"The financial contribution from Canadian Heritage will help Odyscène pursue its mission as a cultural leader in the Lower Laurentians. With this investment, Odyscène will consolidate its actions, continue its development in at-risk disciplines, and keep offering a great place for emerging artists and its young clients."

—Serge Dion, Chair of Odyscène's Board of Directors
