The Conseil de la culture de l'Estrie unveiled the three artists on Wednesday nominated for the Prix Excellence culture Estrie.

The award recognizes an artist, writer, artisan or cultural worker who demonstrates excellence and wishes to continue to develop in the region.

In addition to practicing engraving and various mixed techniques, Deborah Davis has founded and directs Les ateliers Dufferin where she offers training. The artist wants to marry visual arts and literature more in the coming year.
Then, Jean-Sébastien Dutil signed, as director and screenwriter, the documentary Le bien-être, in addition to confusing his company Les Productions des Lucarnes inc. In the coming months, he will focus on a second documentary about the housing crisis and will also question the importance of community organizations in our society.
