For our artists, partners, and Art's Lovers
At its last special meeting, the executive committee with regret has decided to cancel the International Symposium. So, the 2012 edition is scheduled for June 20 to 24, 2012. The reason that has motivated that decision is the sudden death of our President Mr Jean-Guy MALTAIS. We deeply regret this situation and we hope this will not disturb your own schedule. We anticipate that all of you that were selected for 2011 will be with us next edition (2012). Your presence is important to make this gathering of professional artist a great and authentic celebration of art. The date foreseen for 2011 will be schedule for June 20 to 24, 2012, le Hangar du Vieux Port de Saguenay in Chicoutimi. We are anxious to see you all next year.

« On se souviendra de lui comme étant un homme très impliqué dans son milieu, passionné, dévouant un respect à son entourage aussi grand que pouvais l'être son admiration envers les artistes, d'ici ou d'ailleurs qu'il soutenait. » merci jean-guy « Au paradis, paraît-il, mes amis, c'est pas la place pour les souliers vernis. Dépêchez-vous de salir vos souliers si vous voulez être pardonnés. » Ces paroles extraites d’une chanson du grand Félix Leclerc, "Moi, mes souliers", les artistes de notre région et le conseil d’administration du Symposium International Jean-Paul Lapointe veulent te les offrir avec grand respect; à un moment ou à un autre, ils ont tous été témoins de l’énergie déployée et du travail que tu as su investir pour la mise sur pieds de ce symposium et surtout pour sa continuité, même après la mort de ton grand ami Jean-Paul. Nous savons que l’homme de cœur que tu as été, a dû sans cesse ranger ses "souliers vernis".
