This summer, Notre Dame des Arts, in collaboration with Rendez-Vous, is organizing artisan markets every second Sunday on the dates listed below. Applications are now open for the Artisan Market.
Priority will be given to local artisans and handmade work. Please note that reselling is not permitted, we are seeking original, authentic creations.
Our Mission
At Notre Dame des Arts, we believe art belongs to everyone.
Our mission is to open the doors of creativity wide making visual, musical, performance, digital, and literary arts in English and in French accessible to the NDG community through workshops, festivals, exhibitions, and joyful gatherings that bring together the rich diversity of our neighbourhood.
We celebrate the imagination, passion and cultural heartbeat of our community by lifting up local artists who make NDG shine, offering mentorship, skill sharing and recognition.
Notre Dame des Arts acknowledges that we are located in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal, on the unceded Indigenous lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation. Tiohtià:ke has long been a place of gathering, exchange, creation, and storytelling for Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg.
As an arts and community organization, we recognize our responsibility to listen, learn, and create space in ways that respect Indigenous presence, past, present, and future. We commit to approaching our work with care, curiosity, and accountability, and to supporting Indigenous voices, artists, and knowledge within our community.
Community Ownership of the Arts
Over the years, we’ve presented exhibitions, festivals, workshops, performances, and public art activities that center local voices, especially children, youth, emerging artists, and community creators. Our programming ranges from hands-on art workshops and skill-sharing, to artist exhibitions, parades, pop-up events, and collaborative community projects in partnership with cultural groups, and neighbourhood organizations.
Today, NDA continues to grow as a creative hub, supporting artists, engaging families, and creating low-barrier opportunities to experience, make, and share art. Whether through a gallery wall, a workshop table, or a sidewalk parade, our work is about creativity, connection, and community ownership of the arts.
