The territories eligible to participate include the the Haut-richelieu, Pierrede Saurel and La Vallée-du-richelieu MRCS, Brome-missisquoi Local Development Center as well as the Conseil de la culture de Saint-hyacinthe.

•Promote the accessibility and promotion of artistic and literary works to the local and regional population.

•Contribute to the development of Quebec artists and writers of all generations and all origins.
