ᕿᓐᓂᕋᔮᑦᑐᖅ Qinnirajaattuq / Ripples: Making Waves in Inuit Art symposium

REGISTRATION

ATTENDEES: How much does it cost to attend the Symposium?

The cost per person for this symposium outside of travel, per diems and flights is about 750$/ per person (symposium meals, speakers, events, AV, spaces etc). Inuit Futures is offsetting the cost of the symposium for all attendees, and Avataq, the Inuit Art Foundation, The Government of Nunavut, the Nunatsiavut Government, the Canada Council for the Arts, CALQ, the Terra Foundation, NAPA, and other arts organizations are all contributing to defray the costs for all participants by sharing symposium registration costs and supporting participant travel.

Inuit who are coming on behalf of an organization or government must be paid for by that org; but no Inuk will personally have to pay to attend this event. Space is extremely limited and everyone is encouraged to register early to ensure a spot!

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS: I can’t attend the Symposium and I have already paid: can I get a refund?

Registrants are able to receive a partial refund (excluding some processing fees) before the cutoff date. Please contact inuitartsymposium2024@gmail.com

How to get downtown from the Montreal Airport (YUL)?

YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport is located just 20 minutes from downtown. Upon arrival, you’ll find everything you need, including tourist information and various options for making your way downtown: car rentals, Uber, taxis, airport shuttles, and the bus. The 747 Express bus operates 24/7/365 and will get you to one of the nine downtown stops in 40 to 60 minutes (depending on traffic). If you are staying at the Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel, the nearest 747 Express bus stop is at René-Lévesque / Stanley (1 minute walk to the hotel.)

Montreal Public Transit

The Montreal metro (subway) system is incredibly efficient and user-friendly, with just four lines connecting the downtown centre to major tourist sites, bus stops and train stations. The metro operates daily from 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. (1:30 a.m. on Saturdays). The average wait time between trains is eight minutes and three minutes during rush hour.
