Jean-Charles Falardeau and the Québec Arts Council
This article deals with the composition and role of the Québec Arts Council, created in 1962 and chaired by Jean-Charles Falardeau until 1965. With a poorly defined status, in perpetual conflict with the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, which was responsible for the management of current affairs in this area, the Council nevertheless left behind a set of bold and original proposals concerning research and culture, language and immigration, which were not implemented by the Quebec government until several years after the end of its activities.
