Support the SAT

Help us sustain and grow Montreal’s artistic ecosystem

OUR MISSION

The Society for Arts and Technology [SAT] is a multidisciplinary center dedicated to the development of digital arts and immersive creation in all its forms. Through creation, presentation, research, and training activities, the SAT is a vibrant hub where artists, audiences, and researchers collaborate to push the boundaries of immersive experience.

Why support the SAT?

Supporting the SAT means investing in an independent, accessible, and unifying organization. As a non-profit (NPO) rooted in a social-economy model, the SAT reinvests all its revenues into its mission, allowing it to remain autonomous, true to its values, and committed to sustaining the projects that come to life within its walls.

SUPPORT AN INDEPENDENT, ACCESSIBLE AND UNIFYING SAT

Support an INDEPENDENT SAT

In a cultural landscape increasingly shaped by large monopolies, the SAT operates autonomously to champion innovative digital art without compromise.

Your support helps us to:

· Provide residencies that offer artists the time, space, independence, and fair compensation they need to create.
· Produce and present immersive works developed through these residencies, both locally and internationally.
· Conduct research and development (R&D) projects, where we publish our digital toolkits as open-source for a collective use.
· Operate a fully self-managed café and offer a unique culinary experience.

Support an ACCESSIBLE SAT

As financial barriers and limited access to technology restrict artistic creation, your donations allow us to maintain accessibility as a core value, reducing both physical and socioeconomic obstacles.

Your support helps us to:

· Amplify the voices of emerging artists and artists from underrepresented communities.
· Democratize access to digital tools through youth programs, workshops, and community-based training (field trips, libraries, senior residences, and more).
· Offer diverse and inclusive programming with an accessible ticketing policy.
· Continue upgrading our building to improve universal accessibility.

Support a UNIFYING SAT

The SAT is a gathering place for experimentation and innovation, where artists, creators, researchers, and audiences from diverse disciplines and communities collaborate around new forms of digital expression.

Your support helps us to:

· Prioritize multidisciplinary projects that bridge artistic, academic, and entrepreneurial communities.
· Host networking events that build connections across artistic and professional ecosystems.
· Collaborate with social-innovation organizations through our Living Lab to reach marginalized communities.
· Contribute to neighborhood life through free, accessible programming in public spaces.

First Major Donation in Culture

A first major donation in culture is a cash donation between $5,000 and $25,000 made by an individual to benefit a cultural non-profit organization (NPO).

In addition to having a significant impact on the projects that will receive this funding, your donation allows you to benefit from substantial tax advantages through an additional 25% tax credit, on top of the usual tax credit for charitable donations. In total, you could recover up to 75% of the amount of your donation!

If you choose to support SAT with your first donation in culture, please contact our Director of Philanthropy and Partnerships, Alexandra Kukuc ([email protected]).
