Art for Art’s Sake / L’Art pour l’art

We are a non-profit, public space amelioration organization with a focus on outside the box events and making the city more colourful and culturally vibrant. With a strong focus on Greater Moncton, our biggest event of the year is Festival Inspire, an international, free, week-long, non-profit street arts festival designed to engage all ages and activate imagination in the celebration of all things ART. Inspire brings artists from all around the world to colour the city with magic.

The Festival Inspire creates a proactive culture of art in public spaces in Downtown Moncton. Dynamic murals replace dull walls that were subject to vandalism or ‘tagging’, neglect or despair. Everything is created in high traffic, high visibility areas to be experienced by the largest audience possible, and in derelict or vacant urban spaces for the purpose of reactivating those spaces. By creating a collaboration between local businesses, artists, community organizations and residents, the organization offers long lasting character, energy and beauty, economic growth and prosperity to the City.

Throughout the rest of the year we work closely with the tri-city community to bring inspiration to public spaces.
