WATCH: Montreal art spaces & venues light up red for LightUpLive

by Cult MTL

In recognition of the million Canadians in the performing arts sector who lost their jobs due to the pandemic.

It’s no secret that some of the businesses hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic have been in the performing arts sector. LightUpLive aims to pay homage to the performers, creators, technical, logistical and management support personnel, whose work represents $100-billion to the economy in Canada. The LightUpLive initiative encourages venues in Montreal and across Canada to illuminate their facades in red on Sept. 22 to celebrate the live event community.

The broadcast of the event can be seen via YouTube. Check out a series of photos below from some of the Montreal venues participating tonight in LightUpLive.
