Canada Council for the Arts

The arts and their contributions are crucial to society—they stimulate the economy and foster social cohesion and Canadian unity. They promote our values and improve everyone’s health and well-being.

Culture and the arts strengthen people’s sense of belonging and community by establishing social ties and creating an inclusive environment while stimulating creativity.

The Canada Council for the Arts encourages public participation in the arts from coast to coast to coast, thereby contributing to the recognition of artists and arts organizations from Canada abroad. That’s why the Council is proud to support the 26th edition of the MUTEK Festival, which is not only a reflection of its community, but also a fantastic showcase for arts in Canada and around the world.

Canadian Heritage Ministry

For the 26th year, MUTEK is bringing us to the heart of digital creation and cutting-edge electronic music. It attracts visionary artists from across Canada and beyond to Montréal—artists who are all dedicated to sharing the passion that drives them. This festival is also a meeting place for different disciplines, generations and cultures, where audiences are guaranteed to make wonderful discoveries.

Our government is proud to support events like this one that demonstrate the vitality of our cultural scene and its ability to push the boundaries of creativity. By promoting experimentation, research and exchanges, MUTEK plays an important role in affirming our modern and inclusive cultural identity.

As Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, I would like to congratulate the entire team behind the 2025 festival. I wish everyone a wonderful festival!

The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages.

Tourisme Montréal

Tourisme Montréal is proud to support MUTEK, a festival that offers visitors a completely different way to experience the city. Through electronic music, digital arts, and immersive installations, MUTEK showcases an innovative, creative, and boldly contemporary Montréal. It’s an experience that draws curious minds from around the world in search of something new and moving. For us, that’s what tourism is about too: going beyond the expected, awakening the senses, and creating the desire to return. MUTEK is Montréal in all its modern vibrancy — and that’s what we’re proud to share.

Yves Lalumière, President and CEO Tourisme Montréal.
