About the Urban Culture Lab

The arts and cultural programs offered by the Laboratoire de culture urbaine (LUC) are coordinated by McGill University’s Institute of Health and Social Policy (IHSP). The Laboratoire de culture urbaine offers programs in numerous community organizations in Little Burgundy and southwest Montreal. LUC is a site for collaboration and exchange between citizens, youth, community organizations, schools, and members of the McGill University community.

Focusing primarily on projects rooted in the arts, LUC implements progressive and innovative projects structured by principles of social justice, personal development, civic togetherness, and intersectionality. All programs are free of charge for students.
