The City of Sainte-Thérèse invites professional artists in the region to submit their portfolios as part of its Art Acquisition Policy. The selected artists will have the opportunity to sell their works so that they can be integrated into the municipal collection and distributed to the Teresian community.
“The municipal collection is an integral part of the Town’s history and heritage. Thanks to the works that compose it, citizens have the chance to immerse themselves in the sensational universe of the visual arts. It is also a unique dissemination opportunity, allowing professional artists from the region to share their works with the public and to allow the entire community to benefit from their artistic talent! “, said Mr. Christian Charron, mayor of Sainte-Thérèse.
