Russell Copeman, mayor of the borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce was on hand to show his support: "Each year, NDG Arts Week presents award-winning artists in a neighbourly environment. Last year I committed to increase Borough support for this initiative. With a $10,000 grant as well as technical support, the representatives of the Borough can be proud for delivering on their promise"

NDG Arts Week is also proud to announce Netronix will be this year's festival sponsor while several activities will be made possible thanks to a financial contribution from Notre-Dame-des-Arts, an NDG-based charity that promotes arts and culture.
