Festi Monde – Forum & Showcase

An Event with a Vision As part of the second edition of the Festi Monde festival, we invite you to a unique evening to build a sustainable and inclusive artistic ecosystem in Ottawa-Gatineau.

This region is rich in diverse artistic talent, yet many local artists struggle to find the support they need to grow and shine. Too often, they are forced to leave in order to pursue their careers elsewhere.

Festi Monde – Forum & Showcase offers a collective and creative response to this challenge:to build a strong, inclusive, locally rooted ecosystem connected to the world.

This evening will mark the official launch of a world-class artistic agency, designed to support, retain, and elevate our local talent.
