The long months of the pandemic were hard on cultural organizations. The Government of Canada supported such organizations during this challenging period as they sought to find other ways of doing things. After two hybrid editions, this year's 23rd edition of the MUTEK Festival is coming to venues in the Quartier des spectacles.
The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Quebec Lieutenant, Pablo Rodriguez, confirmed the Government of Canada's renewed support for the organization and announced funding for the 23rd edition of the MUTEK international festival of digital creativity and electronic music.
Canadian Heritage, through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund, will provide financial support of $132,500 for the 2022 edition. In addition to this amount, MUTEK will also benefit from the Re-engaging Audiences Fund for Professional Arts Presentation Organizations, an initiative for helping arts communities recover from the pandemic. Part of the funding will facilitate creative export, notably through MUTEK Forum, the festival's professional marketplace that invites cultural producers and buyers from around 30 countries to discover Canadian talent.
