Le Bal Erotique

Once again, Conseil Des Arts du Quebec has joined forces with Bal Erotique to work towards the following common goals:

· To establish an annual artistic event that broadens people’s mindset in order to achieve acceptance and a positive way of thinking about subject matter of a provocative nature.

· To create an artistic and cultural environment that is truly inspiring and multidisciplinary.

· To establish a platform focusing on artistic aesthetics, the experience of an erogenous journey and the discovery of eroticism in art.

· To promote Montreal, the Province of Quebec, the culture and artists.
