It all started with a simple conviction:

Our communities deserve a stage that is worthy of them.

In 2016, the Fondation Dynastie was born around an idea that is as simple as it is ambitious: to celebrate what is being built in Quebec's Black communities, and to support those who are building it. The first Gala Dynastie brings together a handful of visionaries (artists, entrepreneurs, leaders) convinced that it was time to create a cultural infrastructure that matches the talents of our community.

Years later, this belief took root. The Gala Dynastie has become an unmissable event. The Sommet Dynastie opened career-changing conversations. The Unplugged amplified voices. Our professionalization programs have transformed projects into companies, artists into professionals.

We didn't just organize events. We have created the conditions for a sustainable Black creative economy to take its place in Quebec.

Our
Mission

Celebrating, accompanying, propelling and telling the story of artists and cultural entrepreneurs from Quebec's Black communities through our events, our training, our incubator and our media... so that their talent becomes their economic fuel.

Our
Vision

An ecosystem built by and for Afro-descendant communities. Sustainable, recognized and influential. Anchored in Quebec. Open to the world.

OUR VALUES

This shapes each of our actions, from the smallest project to the largest gathering.

Membership

Every person we serve is a member of a community. Not a beneficiary, not a number.

Excellence

We believe that our communities deserve the best. So we work to give them access to the best.

Audacity

We think Montreal, but we aim for the world. The excellence of our creators deserves an international stage.
