#ONmlesARTS celebrates cultural workers and artistic discoveries from Ontario’s Francophone scene.
Ottawa, September 23, 2024 – Every October, Ontario resonates with the diverse artistic and cultural expressions of its Francophone community. Launched in 2019, the Month of Francophone Arts and Culture in Ontario has become a tradition uniting enthusiasts of creativity and cultural heritage. This year, Alliance Culturelle de l’Ontario invites you to actively participate in the #ONmlesARTS movement throughout the month of October, to celebrate not only the arts in all its diversity and forms but also the cultural workers who support our dynamic sector.
#ONmlesARTS: Celebrating Art and Cultural Workers
At the heart of this celebration is the hashtag #ONmlesARTS, a central rallying point for Francophone culture enthusiasts on social media. In 2024, the campaign takes on a new dimension by particularly highlighting the professionals in the arts and culture sector. Alongside sharing your artistic and cultural discoveries, we encourage you to celebrate the workers such as technicians, administrators, and other professionals – those who make this cultural vibrancy possible.
