About

Founded in 2002, Manif d'art is a charity based in Québec, Canada working on arts & culture, community development.

Manif d'art is a non-profit contemporary art organisation based in Québec City, Canada. It runs La Biennale de Québec, a winter contemporary art biennale first held in 2000, along with the Jardin d'hiver, exhibitions in the city and abroad, artist awards and bursaries, and exchange projects. Its mandate is to promote current art by local, national and international artists through non-conventional creation and presentation frameworks, and to help retain artistic talent in the Québec City region. The organisation also works to reduce its environmental footprint, holding an eco-responsible certification for its biennale and adopting a sustainable development policy in 2022. Its philanthropic fund, the Fondation Manif d'art internationale de Québec, accepts donations to support its activities.
