Spearheaded by the Etxepare Basque Institute, Saison Québec – Pays Basque is a cultural and artistic programme that will take place over the course of two years in the main cities of Québec and Euskadi. The aim is to open a window onto contemporary Basque culture and creation in Québec and to show the work of Quebecers in the Basque Country, strengthening the relationship between the two regions through language, culture and art. The initiative is promoted by the Etxepare Basque Institute and the Ministry of Culture and Communications of Québec.
