The artwork collection
La Caisse has been investing in Québec art since 2003. Its collection is rich in works that represent the diverse practices in contemporary art in Québec. The objective is to support and encourage the excellence, innovation and uniqueness of local artists. Every year, La Caisse organizes a number of activities to promote this unique asset and source of pride for its teams and the Québec population as a whole.
Our artistic heritage
La Caisse's visual arts initiatives extend far beyond the organization's walls. Several public art and architecture-integrated art projects, such as the REM art program, enrich our artistic heritage. These initiatives make it possible to offer a diversity of artistic experiences in infrastructure frequented daily by Quebecers.

Prix La Caisse
en art actuel
Since 2025, La Caisse has annually awarded the Prix La Caisse en art actuel to a visual artist selected by a panel of experts from the cultural sector.
Created to support Québec artists in mid-career, this distinction aims to sustain their artistic practice and research while raising the profile of their work. This recognition also underlines the artist's excellence, commitment and significant contribution to the contemporary art scene.

Winner
2025: Sophie Jodoin
Sophie Jodoin’s practice questions manifestations of femininity, intimacy, loss, absence, and language. Her research, past and present, probes the plural identities of the body in relation to cultural, political, material, visual, and written tropes. The culmination of these investigations has led her to a more conceptual approach towards the body as a subject as well as drawing as a practice that unfolds through installation, collage, photography, text, video, archives and the re-contextualization of found objects.
