Cultural mediation

Since 2002, Centre CLARK has offered a cultural mediation program composed of accessible activities designed to foster discourse and advance dialogue in contemporary art for a broad range of audiences. The mediation activities invite the Centre's audiences to familiarize themselves with its production and dissemination components, as well as with the practices of the Centre's artists, curators and collectives, members and more. As part of its cultural mediation program, CLARK collaborates with community-based and university partners working with diverse communities.

Public events
Artists, curators and collectives featured in the Centre CLARK's regular programming (exhibitions and Poste audio) and artists-in-residence are invited to present their practice through a public activity in the form of, among others, discussions, round tables, participatory workshops, or guided tours. These events are free and open to the general public.

Accessibility
In collaboration with Concordia University's Access-in-the-Making Lab (AIM Lab), CLARK's accessibility program (2022-2024) aims to analyze the Centre's digital services, produce an accessibility protocol and implement adapted cultural mediation activities. Since March 2024, the Centre has held Kéroul certification.

Immigrant and refugee communities
Launched in 2022, the Ponts: arts et communautés project with AGIR Montreal stems from the Centre's desire to reach young LGBTQIA+ immigrants and refugees by offering visits to the studios of artists whose work engages with these realities across the city. The web page of the project is available here.
