It honours the material world and life itself, reimagines reality, brings dreams to life, and advocates for a better, more imaginative and thoughtful world. It is a mature art form that can be expressed in many fields, such as theatre, film, television, and digital media. The AQM and Qu\u00e9bec artists advocate for the recognition of puppetry as a major art form and wish to raise awareness of the specific requirements of their profession.<\/p>\n

Since the early 1980s, the AQM has published various documents, including the Marionnettes<\/em> magazine. These publications provide an overview of puppetry in Qu\u00e9bec, document the various events that have shaped the association\u2019s history, and highlight the realities, challenges, and vitality of the practice.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all”

qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise des marionnettistes<\/strong> and Casteliers<\/strong>, the Maison internationale des arts de la marionnette (MIAM) opened its doors in the fall of 2018 in Montr\u00e9al. This creative hub, which also serves as a performance venue and a training and cultural mediation centre, is entirely dedicated to puppetry arts.<\/p>\n

Built on a foundation of collaboration and resource sharing, the MIAM is a community-driven, open and accessible space. Its rental facilities and activities are developed and led by its founders, partners, and users, resulting in a versatile, spontaneous and ever-evolving range of activities.<\/p>\n

The AQM is actively involved within the MIAM through its participation in advisory committees on funding, communications and shared use. Since the opening of the MIAM, the AQM has held the vast majority of its activities there, including several professional development workshops, lectures and professional meetings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default”
