To achieve its charitable goals in supporting the community, the Foundation of Friends of Parc Omega contributes to various activities aimed at promoting the appreciation of the arts and handcrafted works.

The Outaouais Youth Symphony Orchestra: Development Camp

Every year, the Outaouais Youth Symphony Orchestra organizes a weekend camp at the SAJO (Service Animation Jeunesse Outaouais) center. This year, for the first time and thanks in part to the support of the Foundation, two camps are being organized: the first in June 2023 and the second in November 2023. The intensive weekend is divided into three parts: sectional rehearsals on Saturday, orchestra rehearsal on Sunday, and plenty of free time filled with fun, fun, and more fun!

In-Situ Art Symposium: Imagine, Sow, Harvest

The Symposium d’art in situ is a biennial artistic event coordinated by the Centre d’action culturelle de la MRC de Papineau and supported by numerous partners, including the Fondation des Amis du Parc Omega. This creation and dissemination initiative showcases professional artists invited to create public artworks, outdoors and in front of an audience, in a village of the MRC de Papineau. The event’s overarching theme, linked to the identity of the host municipality, gives impetus to the artists’ creative process, and offers the public a key to appreciating and reading the works.
