The Season Launch on September 26th was not only a meeting point for 150 young professionals interested by the arts, it was also an opportunity to behold their resourcefulness and sheer passion for culture.
On this evening, artsScene Montréal and the youth committees of the six major cultural organisations of the city shared a vision that places the arts at the forefront of activism in our communities.
Especially noteworthy is the eagerness of these young leaders to share their respective knowledge and insights. The participants unanimously underlined our generation’s success in the arts and business sector.
Attendees of diverse professional fields echoed this passion. Guests were surprised and charmed by the performances of artists from the Atelier lyrique, Montreal Improv as well as from the Wandering Stars of the Segal Centre for Performing Arts.
Julie Arseneault in joining artsScène Canada just as she ends her mandate as Co-President of artsScene Montréal. It is thanks to Julie Arsenault’s perseverance and creativity that artsScene Montréal saw the day. “I found Toronto’s idea fantastic and wanted to do the same here” explains this lawyer turned personal coach and business leadership consultant. During the summer of 2008, Julie organised the first behind the scenes event. One year later, she gathered thirty professionals interested by the project. Shortly thereafter, and with the firm support of a handful of dedicated people, artsScène Montréal was finally inaugurated. According to Natalie Chapdelaine, “Julie’s contribution is priceless. She was able to share her vision with a group of collaborators and pass her passion on to them. Today, artsScène has imposed itself as an important resource on arts and business in Montreal.”
Recently named Co-President of artsScène Canada, Julie will now coordinate the eight artsScène branches across Canada, giving her the opportunity to share her vision nationally. ” I think artsScène helps young professionals find their ‘passion zone’ by calling on their right brain and creativity. Once they have found it, they can fly with it.”
A Warm Welcome to Robert Landry, New Co-President
Robert Landry, CMA, Branch Director, Robert Half International
Robert was long tempted by the idea of being himself an artist. A chartered accountant, Robert discovered his taste for the arts during a one year stay in France. For the three years following his return to Montreal, Robert took acting and signing classes. He even considered auditioning for the Théâtre de Quat’Sous. Dancing lessons followed a few years later. “If I could do it all over again, I would be a dancer“. Stepping off stage, Robert is now dedicated to a talent searching career and to volunteering in the cultural sector. After six years on the board of the Ordre des comptables en management accrédités du Québec-CMA (of which two were as President), Robert now sits on four boards, namely those of; artsScène Montréal, the École supérieure de ballet du Québec, the Foundation Héma-Québec and the Katimavik Program. Above all else, the new Co-President hopes to “bring young professionals to the creative community and add an entire dimension to their professional and personal lives“.
