2025–2026 FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN

Goal: $40,000

At La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines, artworks are given space long before they take shape.
They grow from boldness, doubt, collisions between disciplines, and from the conviction that art must remain a free and ever-shifting territory.

For 35 years, La Chapelle has supported artists who disrupt the established order, who invent new scenic languages, who test ideas that may be radical, always singular.

Supporting La Chapelle means contributing to an artistic program that fosters the emergence of new, unpredictable, uncompromising forms.

Your donation makes possible what does not yet exist.

WHAT MAKES LA CHAPELLE UNIQUE

La Chapelle does not wait for works to be understood before giving them a place.

It is an incubator for the artists of today and tomorrow:
Over 100 artists and collaborators walk through our doors each season.
For many, it is their first creation, their first fully embraced risk.

It is a place that confronts, surprises, and transforms.

A beacon of artistic innovation in Montréal, La Chapelle shines locally, nationally, and internationally.

WHY DONATE?

Because art in the making needs time, space, and resources.
Because interdisciplinary practices rarely receive the institutional funding available to more established forms.
Because every season, works presented here go on to tour festivals, inspire other artists, and change trajectories.
