About
The MPAA/La Canopée invites amateur artists to a networking evening designed to foster collaboration and community exchange. Held on Friday, March 5, 2027, from 19:00 to 22:00, this event allows creators to showcase their work, find new band members, and discuss their artistic goals. Whether you are currently part of the MPAA or practicing elsewhere, you are welcome to join this session in the 1st arrondissement. Participation is completely free of charge, though registration is required to attend. It is a unique opportunity to connect with peers and address the practical aspects of your craft in an inspiring environment.
Practicing your art with passion sometimes requires meeting other enthusiasts: presenting your project, networking, recruiting within your group, sharing experiences, formulating questions and concerns, identifying other places to rehearse...
In 2026-2027, two meetings are offered, open to anyone who has an artistic practice, at the MPAA or elsewhere:
· Friday, September 18, 2026 | 7 PM | MPAA/La Canopée
· Friday, March 5, 2027 | 7 PM | MPAA/La Canopée
Other forms of meetings will be organized around topics chosen by you, to debate, share, or pass on information.
