Culture for All is developing Art at Work in partnership with private and public companies noted for their involvement in Quebec communities. The objective of the program is to develop cultural dimensions in all areas of the community and make arts more accessible to the public at large.
In 2008, for the second edition, seven companies including three municipalities hosted professional artists at their respective workplaces, where the artists conducted workshops and interacted with employees to produce collective works of art.
Participating companies:
 
Centre de la Petite Enfance Premier Pas (La Tuque)
Raphaël Bénédicte (painting)
Project: Jouer c’est magique!
The Abenaki painter created two murals in the hall of the CPE (daycare centre). The first illustrates the six aspects of the preschool aid program for Aboriginals, and the second, which was created with the participation of the children, their parents and the preschool teachers, gives visual form to what the youngsters retained from their stay in the daycare centre.

Ville de Longueuil
Michelle Baillargeon (visual arts)
Project: OVBI / Objets volants bien identifiés
Municipal employees are called upon to build Archimedean polyhedra of the cuboctahedron variety and to personalize them through the insertion of found objects or creations of their own making. These elements will be displayed in an aerial or sculptural installation form.
