Jusqu' maintenant une responsabilit exclusive des membres du Conseil des arts de Montral, la fonction dvaluation sera dsormais dlgue ces comits de pairs qui seront toutefois prsids chacun par un membre du Conseil. Cette nouvelle structure permettra au Conseil dtre davantage lcoute des demandes, des aspirations et des priorits du milieu quil dessert tout en renforant lexpertise dans les valuations. Chaque comit est form de six neuf pairs, cest--dire dartistes ou dautres professionnels des arts, choisis par le Conseil pour leur exprience personnelle et pour leur connaissance experte du milieu et des divers aspects de la discipline en question.
Ces nouveaux comits diffrent cependant des jurys de pairs traditionnels par un mandat de trois ans qui favorise le sentiment dappartenance et le partage dune vision au service de la vie artistique montralaise. Les membres des comits valuent les demandes dans le cadre du programme gnral de subventions, du programme de tournes et du parrainage fiscal.

La composition des comits tient compte de la diversit des pratiques artistiques et des domaines de spcialisation professionnelle, ainsi que de la diversification des expriences reprsentes en termes de gnration, de la prsence quitable dhommes et de femmes, et de la diversit culturelle. Les membres doivent rsider sur le territoire de lle de Montral et/ou exercer leur profession au sein dorganismes artistiques dont le sige social est situ sur lle de Montral.

Montreal, September 30, 2009 As outlined in its 2009-2012 Strategic Plan, the Conseil des arts de Montral is modifying its operations by creating new evaluation committees. Up until now, evaluations were the exclusive responsibility of the members of the Conseil des arts de Montral. This function will henceforth be delegated to these peer committees, which will, however, each be chaired by a member of the Conseil. This new structure will allow the Conseil to be more sensitive to the demands, aspirations and priorities of the milieu that it serves, while reinforcing expertise in the evaluations. Each committee will be formed of six to nine peers, i.e. artists or other arts professionals chosen by the Conseil for their personal expertise and expert knowledge of the sector, as well as the various aspects of the discipline in question.
These new committees differ from traditional peer juries notably by their three-year mandate, which will promote a sense of belonging and a shared vision in the service of Montreals artistic life. Committee members will evaluate the requests submitted within the General Financial Assistance Program, Touring Programs and Fiscal Sponsorship. They will also have the responsibility of choosing the finalists for the Grand Prix and could be called upon to give their opinion on interdisciplinary files. Their mandate is to formulate recommendations to the Conseil regarding funding once they have reviewed the grant request analyses prepared by the professionals of the Conseil. They can offer testimony on the needs of the sector and identify the issues affecting each discipline.
Thus, 58 persons working in each of the artistic disciplines eligible for funding from the Conseil have accepted to voluntarily take part in the eight committees: digital art, visual arts (including fine crafts, design and architecture), film and video, dance, literature (including cultural periodicals and storytelling), music, new artistic practices (including multi-, trans- and interdisciplinarity), and circus arts and theatre. The composition of the committees will take into account the diversity of artistic practices and areas of professional specialization, as well as the diversification of experiences represented in terms of generations, the equitable presence of men and women and cultural diversity. Members must reside in the territory of the Island of Montreal and/or practice their profession within arts organizations whose head office is located on the Island of Montreal. Committee members must also have an overall vision of their discipline, an ability to listen combined with a facility to express themselves, an open mind, and enjoy teamwork.
The new structure, which is currently being put into place, will be operational as of November, in order to evaluate the requests submitted on September 15, 2009 for the General Assistance Program and those submitted on September 30, 2009 for the Touring Programs.
