SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, FROM 6:00 PM TO 9:00 PM
A small apartment-gallery located in Montreal’s Gay Village, founded by performer and curator Marie Ségolène C. Brault, whom I have yet to meet and look forward to discovering this Saturday evening from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Dedicated to emerging and self-taught artists, the gallery also collaborates with curators and dissemination spaces outside of Montreal and New York. Their activities include artist catalog production, book publishing, and organizing an artist residency in 2023. A discovery worth making this Saturday!
