MONTRÉAL, June 2, 2022

This year, Montréal’s Société des arts technologiques (SAT) celebrates its 25th anniversary. Since 1996, SAT has nurtured a creative and innovative environment for artists to grow and showcase their talent.

To mark this anniversary, the Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez announced $4.5 million in funding for SAT’s maintenance and improvement project for its infrastructure and equipment acquisitions. The planned improvements will include the addition of two creative studios, soundproofing of creative spaces, exterior renovations as well as mechanical system and specialized equipment upgrades. Work is underway and will continue until March 2024.

The Canada Cultural Spaces Fund support will allow the organization to develop even more modern and cultural infrastructure. By investing in creative spaces, the Government of Canada is ensuring that we continue to build a strong and diverse cultural sector that benefits all Canadians.
