ABOUT

CINARS is the largest showcase, marketplace and networking event in Canada. In this session you will hear all about CINARS directly from Adrien Bussy, the Deputy Executive Director. Adrien will provide an overview of what CINARS is, the networking opportunities, the marketplace and showcases that you can expect from attending CINARS.

Since 1984, CINARS has brought together performing arts professionals from around the world every two years in Montreal. For one week, performances, workshops, networking events, and conferences take place in the city's major cultural venues. Beyond its artistic programming, the Biennale is above all a space for sharing and dialogue, where lasting human connections are forged and concrete opportunities for international collaboration are created.

The PACT International Relations Committee is planning a delegation to CINARS in the fall of 2026 (funding pending).

Join this one-hour online session to learn about CINARS, the strategic showcase for artists that promotes the circulation of works around the world.
