CAM Propulsion Award for Innovation and Enrichment in Circus Arts
The Conseil des arts de Montréal (CAM) and En Piste are delighted to announce the recipient of the second Propulsion Award: La Compagnie des autres.
With the aim of further promoting circus arts and its practitioners, the award recognizes an artist, a cultural worker, a collective, or an organization that contributes to the development and enrichment of circus arts. Accompanied by a grant of $10,000, the Propulsion Award is the result of a three-year partnership between the Council and En Piste, initiated in 2024. In addition to the well-deserved visibility and recognition granted to the recipients, the Propulsion Award has a concrete impact on the achievements of the winning company and fosters emulation within the circus arts community.
