In the spring of 1985, an artists collective founded Vox Populi, a non-profit organisation devoted to communication and multidisciplinary artistic practices. In 1987, the organisation redefined its mandate to concentrate exclusively on photography. VOX organised the first edition of the Mois de la Photo à Montréal, an international biennial event, in 1989. In 2002, after having organised seven editions of the event, it decided to make the Mois de la Photo à Montréal a separate organisation in order to enable both organisations to focus on expanding their respective fields of activity. In 2004, VOX pursued this goal by moving to Saint-Laurent Boulevard and devoting itself to the image in a broader sense. The issues VOX addresses thus derive from photography and extend into the culture of the contemporary image.

2014-15 FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN: "BUY-A-BUS" Every year, more and more primary schools serving the English community of Quebec are closing. Those that are left open are under financial stress due to the decrease in student enrollment. Unfortunately when budgets are tight, art & culture are among the first activities to be cut. In 2007, Youtheatre launched its “BUY-A-BUS” fundraising campaign and, through your generosity, has since raised $10000. The campaign has proved to be a great success, and we will continue it into seasons to come. In 2014-15, Youtheatre hopes to transport another 2500 elementary and high school students to see Simon & the Egg and Oxymorons at the Segal Centre. Buses will be free for schools thanks to your help. THIS IS HOW DONORS CAN HELP: BUY-A-BUS: $200 BUY-HALF-A-BUS: $100 BUY-1/4-OF-A-BUS: $50
