This landmark event will bring together in Québec curators, programmers, producers, presenters, and partners who animate public space—through festivals, artistic interventions, cultural events, or urban design projects. EXMURO PRO aims to spark collaboration and exchange in every form: co-productions, co-presentations, touring projects, creative partnerships, and international networking.
