Letter from the Institute of Graphic Arts dated December 11, 1968, certifying Françoise Bujold's studies. The letter is signed by Raymond Guyot, Director, and stamped with the Institute's official seal.

The document bears witness to the participation of people of Acadian origin in Quebec's artistic, political, and social effervescence, particularly Françoise Bujold. Indeed, the document bears witness to the work of Françoise Bujold, an Acadian artist from Bonaventure. Throughout her work, Françoise Bujold highlights the cultural characteristics of the Gaspé Peninsula, beginning with the communities that make up the region, the richness of the Gaspé language, and its territory. The document reflects Françoise Bujold's academic background and the mediums she explored during her time at the Institut des Arts graphiques from 1954 to 1960, including commercial drawing, linocut, etching, drawing, and art publishing.

Françoise Bujold (1933-1981) was the daughter of Oscar Bujold and Elise Grenier. She was a multidisciplinary artist from Bonaventure; a writer, poet, and artist. Along with Marie Anastasie, she was the first woman to study at the Institut des arts graphiques de Montréal. She studied graphic arts with Albert Dumouchel, graphic design and layout with Gilles Robert, and color separation with Arthur Gladu. During her lifetime, she published nine collections of poetry, five articles, and wrote short stories. She hosted and exhibited at the Percé Art Center for nearly twenty years. She also gave engraving workshops with the Mi'gmaqs of Gesgapegiag, which resulted in two collections: Une fleur debout dans un canot (1962) and La naissance du soleil (1966). She also made a film with Jacques Godbout featuring the Mi'gmaqs of Gesgapegiag, Le monde va nous prendre pour des sauvages. In the final years of her career, in 1979, she stayed in Miguasha to draw fossils. She died in January 1981.
