Maison Verso · English
A house WELL built.
Maison Verso is born from over seven years of shared work between CAPAS and Avec Sheila, and it came together quickly, as the foundation was already there. Our French site is live. Our English site is on its way.
Maison Verso is a creative house that operates across every link in the cultural sector chain, acting as both an operational and strategic partner. Rooted in the cultural ecosystem, at the heart of artistic and organizational trajectories, it uses creativity as a lever for transformation, visibility, and connection.
From behind the scenes, Maison Verso is present at every stage. It brings ideas to life, bridges artists and their ecosystems, supports creation, organizational and financial structuring, distribution, and audience development. It acts as a translation space between artistic visions, strategic realities, and institutional contexts, bringing coherence, relevance, and momentum to creative intuitions.
Maison Verso steps in where projects need to be clarified, organized, coordinated, and deployed, working to propel and optimize existing models, strengthen financial structures, and ensure the long-term sustainability of organizations. By connecting people, knowledge, and networks, it helps culture circulate more legibly, more accessibly, and more durably.
OUR vision
Maison Verso imagines a world where creativity serves as the backbone of every project — regardless of its nature or scale. A house that connects worlds, dismantles silos, and weaves a complete chain from the initial idea to its circulation among audiences.
This vision is embodied through our collective minds, their ability to navigate between artistic intuition and professional rigour, to build bridges across disciplines, and to make possible what once seemed distant or unclear.
We want to contribute to robust, inclusive, and sustainable ecosystems by offering accompaniment that enables artists, organizations, and institutions to project themselves forward. Our vision is nourished by strategy and solid collaborations, carried by people who circulate ideas with precision and commitment.

Our history
Before Maison Verso, there was CAPAS and Avec Sheila.
With over 35 years of combined experience, Mickaël Spinnhirny and Lydie Revez founded CAPAS in 2018. In eight years, the service organization supported more than 1,600 performances around the world and collaborated with some fifty performing arts companies and dozens of sector-structuring organizations in dance and culture.
Avec Sheila, founded in 2019 by Sheila Skaiem, established itself as a singular voice in public relations and cultural communications, championing the stories and artists that deserve to be heard. Its reputation attracted prominent Quebec clients and high-profile mandates of significant scope.
Driven by a shared vision, Lydie Revez, Sheila Skaiem, and Mickaël Spinnhirny united their organizations in 2026 to found Maison Verso. In this creative house converge artistic know-how, organizational discipline, and the strategic accompaniment that defined each organization individually. Under one roof, teams combine their expertise to better support the cultural projects of their current and future partners.
