In September, the facades of the Quartier des Spectacles provide a showcase for emerging creators, offering them a prime opportunity to present their work. A series of video projections allows viewers to discover the talent and richness of Montreal and Quebec's artistic and creative community in digital production. The productions are selected following a call for projects.

Second edition, 2025

For its second edition, La rentrée de la relève is becoming Lumière sur la relève! The Quartier des Spectacles Partnership is renewing this video projection itinerary to showcase the talent of Montreal and Quebec's artistic and creative community in digital production from September 4 to 24, 2025. For three weeks, six video projections created by emerging artists will be shown on the facades of the WILDER Building | Espace danse and the Grande Bibliothèque, as well as, new for 2025, on the facades near the Saint-Laurent metro station and the UQAM Design Pavilion.
