Intro: From a musical based on the story of a shipwreck survivor in Newfoundland to a new Canadian opera, and from a morality play acted on horse-drawn wagons in British Columbia to an innovative Montreal photography festival, the Imperial Tobacco Canada Foundation is delighted to announce the winners of its two inaugural arts donations programs, New Creation in the Arts and the Arts Achievement Award.
The prestigious Arts Achievement Award winner is LE MOIS DE LA PHOTO À MONTRÉAL, an international biennale of contemporary photography mounted in multiple Montreal public spaces, galleries and artist-run centres.
