THE QUARTIER DES SPECTACLES PARTNERSHIP
Emerging from a proposal advanced by ADISQ at the Montreal Summit, the Quartier des spectacles Partnership was created in June 2003. A non-profit organization, the Partnership sets out a vision of development based on the enhancement of cultural activities in the life of its downtown neighbourhood. To promote this vision, the Partnership develops and implements projects to bring the neighbourhood together as a place to live and a place to create, and aims to position the area as one of Montreal's major centres of activity and an international cultural destination.
The Quartier des spectacles is centered on the intersection of Sainte-Catherine Street and Saint-Laurent Boulevard, covering almost a square kilometre bound by City Councillors Street, Berri Street, Sherbrooke Street, and René-Lévesque Boulevard. This area is home to 30 performance halls totalling almost 28,000 seats, numerous international festivals, art galleries and centres for the exhibition and broadcast of alternative culture. The Quartier des spectacles hosts more than 7,000 jobs linked to cultural activities, from education and creation to production, exhibition, and broadcasting. A part of Montreal's downtown, the neighbourhood forms the city's cultural heart.
The organization is made up of 23 area stakeholders, including representatives from the culture, real estate, education, and business sectors, as well as local residents, the Borough of Ville-Marie, the City of Montreal and the Government of Quebec. The Quartier des spectacles Partnership receives financial support from the City of Montreal, the Quebec Ministère des Affaires municipales et des Régions, Canada Economic Development and private partners.
