Hommage à la ville – Gallery group show

Doors open at 5pm! One night only!

I am participating in a group art show… it’ll be my first time showing outside of college show & sale type events. I gave the framing shop I chose a fairly short deadline, but if all goes as planned I will have a 15×30 print of a well-known Montréal landmark up for display. This will be along with many other artists that were drawn to, or born in this great city.

The framing shop and art supply store I went to is Encadrements des Cédres at the corner of Papineau and Laurier, and was referred to me by the amazingly talented painter Krista Huot, who also resides in Montréal.

A preview of the piece I will have in the exposition:

Description follows:

*****

What do we love about Montreal? What draws people here? What convinces them to stay? Is it the food, the music scene, or the European style architecture? Is it the Francophone culture, summer festivals, racial diversity, a slower pace of life (relative to other large centres) or even the bicycle culture? These are the questions that this exhibition attempts to address. Hommage à la Ville brings together 22 local artists working in drawing, painting, print, illustration, photography, and sculpture for a 1-night critical mass at OFF Interarts: www.offinterarts.org 5143 St Laurent, on Friday Sept 3, 5pm-12am, where we pay collective tribute to the eclectic city where we work and play.

Qu’aimons-nous de Montréal? Qu’est-ce qui attire les gens ici? Qu’est-ce qui les convainc de rester? Est-ce la nourriture, la scène musicale, ou l’architecture de style européen? Est-ce la culture francophone, les festivals estivaux, la diversité ethnique, le rythme de vie plus lent (en comparaison avec les autres grandes villes) ou même la culture du vélo? Telles sont les questions que cette exposition tente d’adresser. Hommage à la ville rassemble 22 artistes locaux travaillant la peinture, le dessin, l’impression, l’illustration, la photographie et la sculpture qui porterons hommage à cette éclectique ville où nous travaillons et jouons, dans le cadre d’un événement d’un soir au OFF Interart : www.offinterarts.org 5143 St-Laurent Vendredi le 3 septembre de 17h à minuit.
