Explore the Art World: AGAC’s Plural Forum Offers Panels, Tours, and Workshops

The AGAC is excited to unveil the panel discussions, guided tours, and workshops for the Plural Forum! From April 12th to 14th, the forum will offer diverse perspectives on current issues in the art world, featuring seven lectures, six guided tours, and three workshops. These events aim to provide a critical and engaged analysis of contemporary art topics, with a wide range of panelists including gallery owners, artists, collectors, curators, researchers, and art market experts. AGAC extends its gratitude to the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Family Foundation for their invaluable support of the Plural Forum. Fair admission includes access to all forum activities during your ticket’s validity, though note that workshops have limited availability. Panel discussions will be accessible on the fair’s website after their presentation.

Marking the fair in a distinctive way, the special projects offer galleries a unique opportunity to present bold, large-format installative works stemming from current artistic practices. These project spaces will be spread across the two floors of the Grand Quai, allowing visitors to discover four installations in an immersive and surprising context.

The artists whose projects will be featured are Marie-Eve Beaulieu (Galerie Simon Blais), Marie-Ève Fréchette (Galerie C.O.A), Stephen Schofield (McBride Contemporain), and Shanie Tomassini (Patel Brown).
