Inspired by Rebecca Belmore’s works entitled Wave Sound, 2017, participants will be invited to create sculptures that, during a later outing in a forest or beside a body of water, will become sound amplifiers. Listening to ambient sounds will heighten your awareness of the fate of our planet and of your relationship with nature.

This fall, the artistic adventure continues. The public artworks on display near the Musée or on its roof will provide great inspiration for your imagination. We will head out to discover some intriguing works, including Où boivent les loups, by Stephen Schofield. We will also look at a work in the museum’s collection—La Voie lactée, by Geneviève Cadieux—from a new angle. A whole array of activities will be on the program: drawing, painting, sculpture and pigment transfer.

You can’t remain indifferent to Janet Werner’s paintings. You’ll soon be drawn in by the striking effect of the transformed figures and by the often unusual context surrounding them. Subjects and contexts will consequently be the elements inspiring this series of painting workshops in which you’ll have the opportunity to reinvent the portrait genre from a new angle every week. Enjoy your experimenting!
