Beliveau Arts Series

Honoring a Legacy of Art, Inspiring a New Generation

The Beliveau Arts Series brings the very best in performing, visual, and literary arts directly to our community—a living tribute to two remarkable artists who believed in the power of creativity to transform lives.

​

Thanks to the generous bequest from Maurice Beliveau, whose paintings captured beauty and meaning, and Janet Beliveau, accomplished pianist and patron of the arts, the Franco-American Centre (FACNH) is thrilled to launch this exciting new series. Every performance, exhibition, and reading honors their memory while creating fresh opportunities for our community to experience world-class artistry.

​

Get ready to be moved, inspired, and connected through the arts that Maurice and Janet loved so deeply. Their legacy lives on in every note played, every brushstroke admired, and every story shared.

​

Join us as we celebrate art, honor memory, and build community—one unforgettable experience at a time.

​

The Beliveau Arts Series brings the Francophone world to our community through incredible presentations, from captivating fine art to powerful literary works. Your donation helps us make these enriching experiences possible.
