ARTS & CULTURE

EXHIBITIONS AND VERNISSAGES GALERIE LA SEIGNEURIE Centre culturel G.-P.-Vanier ville.chateauguay.qc.ca/en/expositions

NATALIE SARTISSON Presents Un monde qui n’existe pas

LES TOITS D’ÉMILE Presents Les couleurs de nos talents

March 5 to April 17 Vernissage on Thursday, March 5 from 7 to 9 p.m.

April 22 to 24 Vernissage on Wednesday, April 22 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Medium: Photography Inspired by the theme of childhood, Natalie Sartisson offers playful photographs that conceal fantastic and mysterious stories. Find your inner child and let your imagination be your guide while plunging into the universe that is reflected in each work. A world that doesn’t exist, but is always with you.

ISABELLE LANGEVIN Presents Les âmes passagères April 30 to May 29 Vernissage on Thursday, April 30 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Medium: Oil, acrylic

Medium: Mixed Ten participants in the activities of Les Toits d’Émile present their works from art therapy workshops. Art has been used as a tool for communication and self-exploration. Devoid of aesthetic expectations, this project was an opportunity to express oneself, share and get to know oneself, while escaping from everyday life. The participants are therefore proud to present all of their accomplishments, which should be welcomed with kindness.

With Les âmes passagères (The Passing Souls), Isabelle Langevin proposes a journey with many faces, especially of women, through which the awareness of life that surrounds us is expressed. From the first oil canvas to her most recent acrylic on paper, we can see a gradual change in her style of painting – the touch transforming and asserting itself in favour of an increasingly personal interpretation. This faster movement, similar to a sketch, captures the moment by creating a fleeting impression.

Show for advanced groups Saturday, May 23, 7 p.m.

Show for young children Sunday, May 24, 2 p.m.

Auditorium Serge-Boisvert of Louis-Philippe-Paré high school $ $17 Adult | $10 Child Tickets on sale at the Centre culturel G.-P.-Vanier as of Monday, May 4
