Art at the heart of what we do

Celebrating the creativity of artists from Québec, Canada, and all around the world has always been important to us and is driven by our desire to provide creative, inspiring and beautiful environments.

It is also a way to engage with team members and the communities around us. In 2023, year when we celebrated being 100 years young, a unique occasion came our way. 

We had the amazing opportunity to contribute to the recognition of the internationally renowned Québec painter Jean Paul Riopelle, who was also celebrating his 100th anniversary.

Drawing from that opportunity, a natural collaboration was formed with our long-time partner, the Musée du Bas-Saint-Laurent, to put together a unique art exhibit around Premier Tech’s private collection of works by Riopelle.

From October 27, 2023, to March 4, 2024, the Riopelle. Regards croisés exhibition gathered art pieces from the museum and the Premier Tech collection, some of which had rarely been shown to the public. The exhibit also allowed local artists to showcase their creations alongside those of a great master, bringing together a diverse body of work and giving the entire community privileged access to inspiring works of art.

“ Regional access to culture can be challenging. The exhibition presented the work of a renowned artist while promoting the artistic practices present here in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. By partnering with companies, like Premier Tech, we want to be a museum close to its community. We want to be a place of possibilities for the residents of the region. It was a real honour for us to work with Premier Tech in creating this exhibit ” says Oriane Asselin Van Coppenolle, custodian of the museum.

The exhibit was a great success and exceeded all expectations. By joining forces for the community, we put in place an engaging project that shows the importance of investing in the region’s artistic scene, empowering our joint actions to make a real and meaningful impact.
