About Me
Entrepreneur and cultural manager since 2009, Michaël Giguère has been concerned for more than a decade with federal and provincial arts and culture funding problematic experienced by Quebec’s emerging artists out of the mainstream spectrum. Witnessing new artistic vocations constantly compromised – his own as an electro-pop music composer first – Mr. Giguère decided to make business and arts thrive in the hybrid economy and spent the last six years implementing and operating a unique nonprofit business model through a nonprofit called La Baraque (“the shack”). It’s mission was until 2014 to reduce the incidence of public funds insufficiency on new emerging artists careers by providing an artist residency program including free access to a performing arts studio/venue to develop interdisciplinary work with unique endeavors. Now independent consultant, Michaël Giguère still works with emerging artists as he develops multiple cultural start-ups ideas to have a more global impact on the industry.
