Montréal

this winter, it’s about affordable objects of beauty, decor and adornment. it’s about last-minute shopping. it's about everything being hand-made and everything being under $40. this saturday and sunday (dec. 19th and 20th) from 11am to 6pm, the studio béluga winter gift fair gives you all this, and more (cookies).

for even more details, please visit studio beluga's website hope to see you there!
i'm the one with all the octobunnies ^_^

I'm going to be showing some of my artwork at Kokkinos in NDG at 5673 Sherbrooke West, Montreal from November 13 through the 30th. I hope that you'll be able to come by and check it out.

I'll be there this Friday, Nov 13, from 8pm to 10pm, if you'd like to come by while I'm around.

You can see some examples of my work at http://www.synergisticimages.ca - although you can see a lot more detail in the printed versions.

There's a large building (a whole block, I think) on Ste-Catherine, south side and west of Place-des-Arts, filled with galleries and studios. 5 floors, maybe more. Used to be a department store?

I was in there last year on a trip and want to revisit, but lack the building name and specific address.

Hi everyone! I am planning to run an art show on something like war, affected children, and international poverty. It's not through any big agency, just me and a friend under my design site (www.singlstyle.com).

I am in need of a small-medium space, with a nice vibe to it, which won't cost us a lot, because it's just the two of us running this art show; she studied Human Rights and I studied International Development. I still feel quite new to Montreal, so does anyone have any recommendations on a space? How much should I expect to pay? And, is it possible to run just a one-night event, or does it have to be a weekly thing? 

If you know of a bar/ pub that might work also, please let me know. I really, really appreciate your suggestions! 

hey, my boyfriend and i are going to be in montreal friday and saturday. are there any bars in the city where we could hear some punk or thrash? live music would be fantastic. also, what would you recommend to be the best art gallery? there are quite a few. thanks a lot!

i checked through some of the tags and could not find anything.

does anyone have studio space nearby ndg? we are looking to spend about $150 to $200 per month.

any information or leads would be helpful.

thank you.

01. Can anyone recommend a good stable, ranch, school or other facility that offers moderately-priced horseback riding lessons and guided trails for a semi-beginner? I've never taken steady lessons before and I haven't gone riding in years, but I've done like the guided circuits a few times; I'm just out of practice. I've been aching to get back into riding and I figure there's no harm in asking!

02. Does anyone around here play ukulele, have a ukulele or chord book that they want to get rid of, or know where I could get a ukulele?

03. What's happening in the way of museums and art galleries these days? Are there any cool things to check out right now? How's that human body one, is that still going?

Hey everyone,

I'm an undergrad student in Boston and I am currently considering moving to Montreal post-grad [because it's beautiful, cheap, hip, not the States, etc.] I'm an interdisciplinary major specializing in photography, art history, and arts administration. Ideally I'd like to work at one of the city's many cultural museums or other institutions. I've been to the Musée des Beaux-Arts, but beyond that I'm fairly unfamiliar with other public studios, galleries, and museums in the city.

Can anyone recommend some good places to check out to possibly apply to for internships (paid or not) or entry-level employment? I've e-mailed the Musee des Beaux-Arts (they didn't have any employement/internship information listed on their website) but I'd like to broaden my search. I'm not terribly picky as long as it's something interesting and relevant.

Also, I do study and speak French decently - I don't expect that to be an obstacle. I'm going to Paris to study next spring and I expect to be near-fluent by the time I graduate.

Also, how difficult is it for Americans to work in Montreal? I imagine it's not terribly difficult to get work permits, but if any one has any personal experience, I'd appreciate it. I'm worried there might be obstacles with employers preferring native French-Canadians, or French speakers in general, but I'm hoping that's not the case. Please let me know!

Thanks!

If you've ever wanted to hang out in a gallery and listen to strange music while pretending to be an artsy fart, then you are cordially invited to Zeke's Gallery (3955 St. Laurent) next Wednesday, August 30th. The performers will be Elizabeth Bruce and Rozalind MacPhail. The proceedings will be recorded, so if you've always dreamed of having your witty heckles digitally immortalized, here's your chance!

It's an intimate space, with art hanging on twisted ribbons of orange plastic construction fence that cover the walls and ceiling. Hard to describe... come see.

Hello all!

I would love to get some suggestions as to where i can go to view art in this town. :) I'm specifically interested in smaller, independant galleries, within walking distance of a métro station. Any sort of art will do (sculptures, painting, graffiti, whatever).

Thanks!

Hey people!

Does anybody want to go with me this Satturday(July 29) to "Chez Eux Art Club"? (Laboratoire Des Arts Actuels de Montreal)
