More accessible arts and culture

Whether it’s providing support to a multitude of shows, exhibits or other artistic projects, or supporting local artists through the National Bank Financial Group Art Collection, we are proud to contribute to making art and culture more accessible to all.

Nutcracker Fund for Children

Initiated by les Grands Ballets Canadiens, the Nutcracker Fund for Children seeks to make one of the greatest ballet classics accessible to disadvantaged and sick children. Young persons are invited to take part in visual and literary-arts on themes such as creativity, discovery and the Nutcracker. National Bank is happy to contribute to the cultural awakening of children of the greater Montreal region by helping a number of children attend a performance of this near mythic ballet.
