Top 3 Montreal Vernissages to Discover This Week (July 24–25, 2025) 🎨

Montréal never sleeps when it comes to visual art. Week after week, the city surprises us with new exhibitions and creative events. This final week of July is no exception. 🌇 From expressive ceramics to immersive experiences and art-meets-science showcases, Best Kept MTL presents a curated guide to the Top 3 Montreal Vernissages to indulge your senses — see, hear, and even taste the local art scene. 👁️👂🍸

1. 🌿 TANGIBLE – Living Ceramics at Galerie Erga

📍 6394 Saint-Laurent Blvd, Montréal
🗓️ Thursday, July 24, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Located just steps from Little Italy, Galerie Erga welcomes a stunning ceramic group exhibition that is both tactile and poetic. Six artists (Marie Bourguignon, Alain Carrière, Mia Chalbos, Oriana Ivaniuta, Caroline Leduc, and Laure Masson) come together to shape their inner narratives into fragmented memories, abstract landscapes, and organic forms. 🧶👐

The title “Tangible” comes to life through the celebration of texture, gesture, and the rhythm of the living. No need to head out to 1001 Pots in Val-David — the heart of contemporary ceramics is pulsing right here in Montréal this week. Plus, vernissages at Galerie Erga are known for their inviting, community-driven vibe. ✨

2. 🔊 INSIDE(OUT) – Immersive Art & Slam in NDG

📍 Maison de la culture Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, 6400 Monkland Blvd
🗓️ Thursday, July 24, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Make your way to NDG for a multi-sensory event that merges visual art, spoken word, and performance in a beautiful and vibrant space. INSIDE(OUT) invites attendees to experience art from the inside out — an immersive happening designed to resonate emotionally and rhythmically. 🎤💫

With a DJ set, cocktails, snacks, and powerful slam performances on the schedule, this event also doubles as a neighborhood celebration. It’s a perfect opportunity to tap into the growing cultural heartbeat of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. 🍹🎶
