Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec
The Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (French pronunciation: [kɔ̃sɛj dez‿aʁ e de lɛtʁ dy kebɛk], CALQ) is a public agency founded in 1994 by the government of Quebec.
CALQ offers support and funding for art projects in the performing arts, multidisciplinary arts, circus arts, visual arts, media arts, architectural research, arts and crafts, and literature. It also seeks to broaden the influence of Quebec culture in Canada and abroad, and supports the advanced training of writers and professional artists.[1]

Ordre des arts et des lettres du Québec
In 2015, CALQ awarded the inaugural Ordre des arts et des lettres du Québec, honouring achievement in Quebec arts and letters, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Thirty-five inductees were added to the order in its first year, including 13 board members. Though inspired by France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, the Quebec order differs in that it has only one grade, that of companion.[3][4]
