The Musée Masked Ball 2009

This past October 8, the Musée held a Masked Ball, presided over by Honorary Chair Serge Paquette, Managing Partner, National Public Relations. For this festive evening, the 350 or so guests were invited to show off their most elegant masks. A touch of madness was in the air… The lively, spirited party was a big hit, and the organizing committee, chaired by Marie-Claude Tellier, can proudly announce: “Mission accomplished!”

The third Collectors Symposium, sponsored by National Bank Financial Group, took place on November 12. Diane Vachon was the Honorary Chair of this benefit event organized by the Foundation, and the evening was chaired by Jean-Claude Baudinet. The goal of the Symposium is to allow participants to share in the experience of sitting on an acquisition committee. And so, following the presentations of the three works proposed by the curators, and thanks to the proceeds of the event, the guests selected the pieces by Ed Pien and Patrick Bernatchez.

On April 23, 2010, Les Printemps du MAC Committee will host the AVANT-GARDE event.
Designed to raise awareness of the MAC among a new generation of leaders, the fourth edition
of this unique event will unfold in a MAC mysteriously transformed for the evening.
Tickets are $125 each and all proceeds will go to the MAC Foundation.

A group of passionate philanthropists make up the Les Printemps du MAC 2010 Committee,
which is co-chaired by Anna Antonopoulos (Groupe Antonopoulos) and Pascal de Guise (BCF). The Committee members are: Emmanuel Amar (IDX Design), Roberto Bellini (Bellus Health Inc.), Christine Boivin (AndyThéAnh), Allison Dent (Global M&A Inc.), Elki Imbeault (Club de hockey junior de Montréal), Karine Joizil (Fasken Martineau), Mélanie Joly (Cohn & Wolfe), Ève Laurier (RSM Richter Chamberland), Catherine Malouin (Ernst & Young), Louis-Simon Ménard (Digital Dimension), Ranya Nasri (Nasri International), Gilles Ostiguy (Bos), Antony Rizzuto (Métrocom s.e.c.) et François Rochon (Giverny Capital).

Joining the Foundation means supporting the country’s premier institution dedicated exclusively to today’s art. It also means sharing in its mission, which is to promote and preserve contemporary Québec, Canadian and international art. Clearly, it includes providing support for a dozen or so major exhibitions held here every year, as well as travelling exhibitions that tour North America and Europe. In addition, it means lending assistance to a wide array of activities such as film and video screenings, symposiums and meetings with artists. It also involves joining in building the Collection, which currently comprises over 7,000 works produced by more than 1,500 artists from here in Québec, across Canada and around the world. Supporting the Foundation further means adding to the museum’s Media Centre, the largest library in Canada devoted to contemporary art.
