Fleur de lys, fleur de thé is coming to Saguenay!

Fleur de lys, fleur de thé is back! This year, we bring the regional component of Festival Accès Asie to Saguenay to present seven activities and shows for the whole family! The Festival team, accompanied by 10 exceptional Asian artists, will be at the Centre des arts et de la culture of Chicoutimi from August 11th to 14th to present the best of our programming to the Saguenay public! As you know, Fleur de lys, fleur de thé offers the opportunity to artists of Asian origin, whose activities are mostly based in the metropolis, to present their works and their artistic disciplines regionally, and allows a cultural sharing with the public and the artists of a particular region of Quebec. This component is an essential part of our mission as an organization, as it allows us to present our work to an audience that would not otherwise be exposed to Asian arts, to build relationships across the province, and to increase understanding of our communities in order to combat stereotypes through exposure and dialogue. We hope to see you there in large numbers; all the activities of this edition are free and suitable for an audience of all ages! Discover our program in detail here. See you soon, Chicoutimi!
