The People’s Academy of Art offers free admission ! But you can also purchase a ticket for the performance right after!
The People’s Academy of Art is a series of friendly discussion-based talks open to everyone. Each session invites an expert from a field outside the arts to engage in dialogue with the public, connecting their perspective to artistic creation and the arts.
Hosted by Marc Zemmour, dramaturge of ZemmourBallet, these sessions create a lively space for reflection and exchange. They take place in the lobby of the Grand-Espace Theatre in Sherbrooke.
