The Philanthropist Experience: $550

April 9 – April 11, 2026

Want to discover the best of contemporary art in the company of the MMFA’s specialists? Then don’t miss the MMFA X Plural experience! 

The MMFA is proud to once again partner with Plural Contemporary Art Fair to offer you an exclusive encounter with the art of today, for a unique experience combining artistic discovery and philanthropy.

Preview the fair in the company of the MMFA’s Stéphane Aquin, the Rossy Foundation Director, Mary-Dailey Desmarais, Zhao-Ionescu Chief Curator, and Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre, Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Curator of Québec and Canadian Contemporary Art (1945 to Today).

By participating in the Philanthropist Experience, you will be making a real contribution to enriching the Museum’s permanent collection, as a portion of the funds raised will be dedicated to the acquisition of one or more works at the fair. All proceeds will go toward supporting the mission of the MMFA and the Contemporary Art Galleries Association (AGAC), both non-profit organizations.
