Ctrllab Arts and Culture has anchored Saint-Laurent Boulevard since 2006, and ESC is where it all happens in person. The Quartier des Spectacles venue operates as a performance and event space, broadcast station, and gallery — available for rental and programmed with interdisciplinary work from artists at every career stage.

The non-profit's live-streaming operation means nothing stays local for long. Since 2020, every event gets recorded and pushed out to global audiences, and a metaverse-facing content arm extends the programming further still. Mentorship and education round out the offer for artists looking for more than just a room to show work.
