Montreal’s artch Festival returns with 150 works by emerging artists
Montreal’s artch emerging art Festival returns for its 8th edition to Place Ville Marie until Sunday.
Visitors and contemporary art lovers can enjoy days filled with art installations, workshops, discussions and creative activities, and it’s all free!
Hosted in the lobby of 1 Place Ville Marie, this year’s festival centers on cooperation and community-driven artistic practices, featuring 150 works by emerging artists.
In a context where the sustainability of artistic practices represents a major challenge, this program explores how artists can organize, collaborate, and coexist with other actors beyond the traditional artistic circle.
“This program particularly reflects our mission: to support emerging artists in their professional development while creating spaces for dialogue and collective reflection,” said Sarah Kitzy Gineau-Delyon, Executive and Artistic Director, artch.
In addition to the main exhibition, the festival includes a curated shop offering limited editions and artistic publications.
All artworks are available for purchase, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the artists.
Since 2018, artch has supported more than 167 artists in their artistic careers, fostering regional, national, and international recognition.
