Cultural mediation

For over fifteen years, Centre CLARK has developed a quality cultural mediation service, offering innovative activities designed to make contemporary art accessible to as many people as possible. These activities invite our audiences to deepen their engagement with the Centre’s exhibitions and production spaces, and with the studio practices of local contemporary artists. In the spirit of experimentation, CLARK offers adapted activities: school group tours for youth and adults, discussions with artists and curators, studio visits, workshops, and programs for young audiences and disadvantaged communities. People with disabilities In collaboration with AIM Lab, CLARK's accessibility program (2022-2024) aims to analyze the Center's digital services, produce an accessibility protocol, and to implement adapted cultural mediation activities for people with disabilities. In March of 2024, the Centre obtained a Kéroul certificationImmigrant and refugee communities Launched in 2022, the Ponts: arts et communautés project with AGIR stems from the Centre's desire to reach young LGBTQIA+ immigrants and refugees by offering visits to artists' studios and exhibitions across Montreal. In partnership with the SHERPA university institute, the Espace jeunesse créatif project is at the crossroads of cultural mediation and action research in health and social services. Every Wednesday, CLARK offers a space for free creative expression for immigrant youth. Marginalized communities The Laboratoire culture inclusive project run in collaboration with Exeko aims to improve accessibility, equity and inclusion practices within cultural organizations for marginalized people. Exeko will produce an analysis and action plan for CLARK in 2024.
