In the news

I have some fantastic news to share, as an emerging artist! Last night I was presented with a First Prize at the Art Contest Gala awards ceremony for the long-running Pierrefonds Art Contest. Open to all residents of Montréal – of the entire island, not only the City of Montréal – this contest covers a multicultural population of just over 2 million people. So it’s kind of a big deal, despite its unpretentious name.
The awards Gala for the 36^th edition of this annual art competition took place at the historic Pierrefonds Cultural Centre, after which the artists, dignitaries, and other guests all walked next door to the Vernissage at the award-winning and much more modern Pierrefonds Library.
The companion art exhibition, featuring works accepted by the Jury for the Pierrefonds Art Contest, is open to the public at no charge. The art show begins today and will continue through December 18, 2022, during regular library hours; Monday 1300-2100, Tuesday-Friday 1000 to 2100, and Saturday-Sunday 1000-1700. The Pierrefonds Library is at 13555 boulevard de Pierrefonds, and is part of the City of Montréal library network.
If you’re in the area and plan to stop by this exhibition, let me know and I can try to meet you there '-)
Note:  My husband took some phone-photos for me at the Gala and art show, but there was a professional photographer for both events; I'll post better photos when I receive those!
