As the world at large continues to grapple with COVID-19, we hope to keep our American collaborators connected to work coming out of Québec via virtual platforms in the June issue of our cultural newsletter. Our April and May newsletters were dedicated to resources for artists and arts organizations, and you’ll find a link to that content at the bottom of this newsletter.

 

The Québec Government Office wishes you and your loved ones continuing good health as our cultural community navigates this difficult time together.
