Iconic Spring Event Printemps du MAC Helps Raise Over $520,000 for The MAC Foundation

In a remarkable showing of support for the arts, the Montreal contemporary art community gathered in force at the trendy locale of Arsenal art contemporain for the coveted 16th annual edition of Les Printemps du MAC. This year's event, which was deftly themed 'ICÔNES,' saw an impressive convergence of more than 1,200 attendees from the worlds of art and business. The night was not only a celebration of contemporary art and culture but also an incredible fundraising success. Through a combination of ticket sales, generous donations, proactive partners, dedicated sponsors, and an eagerly-anticipated silent auction, the gala successfully funneled over $520,000 into the coffers of the Fondation du MAC.

A Night of Giving Back to Arts

This critical financial endorsement serves as a strong testament to the significant role that the arts play within the community and the importance of sustaining cultural institutions like the MAC. The funds are earmarked to support the Museum’s key initiatives, including educational programs, exhibitions, and the maintenance of its prestigious permanent collection. The event's emphasis on iconic works and figures in art was not only reflected in its theme but also reverberated through the selection of items in the silent auction, which featured exclusive pieces and experiences designed to captivate the high-caliber audience in attendance.

Community and Corporate Support

The Printemps du MAC is known not just for its cultural significance but also for the unity it fosters between various sectors of society, manifesting the strength of community and corporate philanthropy. The gathering of individuals across the arts and business landscapes underscores the mutually beneficial relationships and appreciation for the fine arts that are prevalent within the city's vibrant cultural fabric. This support is crucial for the ongoing prosperity and enrichment of cultural initiatives at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal.
