    The best art gallery on Saint Paul street, only local artists with great stories behind the artworks, 100% Montreal street art with a passionate staff. We bought few pieces for reasonable price and the experience was a 5 stars
    It's like an open museum, little in an underground basement. The paintings are really colourful, with a big variety of styles: from abstract to surrealist in passing by impressionist artworks. We can say it's a contemporary art gallery without being too codified, it's really approachable without being too pop art. I'll say that the curators make a good job and really made this place a Montreal gem 💎
    They have an other gallery on the Plateau with the art studios upstairs which look super cool, but I didn't have the time to go during my trip

    The Arsenal always offers get exhibitions! The last one I attended was on the restoration of Notre Dame. It was an interactive exhibition and used many great learning techniques to keep the visitor engaged.

    Keep up the great work!

    Beautiful crafts, primarily First Nations and Inuit art, in a relaxing modern setting. A single large exhibition space so not overwhelming..

    The current Kusama exhibit was predictably wonderful and our guide Laura was warm, knowledgeable and personable. A wonderful place with an admirable mission.

    Discovering this hidden gem in Old Port was a really nice surprise! I visited their Plateau location before, and didn't realize they had another gallery here. The vibes were great, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Loved exploring the art and chatting. Highly recommend stopping by!

    Highly recommend a visit to Images Boreales Galerie d'Art Inuit in Vieux Montreal. I had found this years ago while walking about Old Montreal. On this recent visit, Thursday May 2, 2024, we were on an MTL Detour of history, architecture, & culture in this area and there it was again. How fortuitous!
    A unique gallery of First People's art, sculpture, fabric, etc.
    "In Canada, the term Indigenous peoples (or Aboriginal peoples) refers to First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. These are the original inhabitants of the land that is now Canada."
    These are commissioned works of the Inuit people of Northern Canada (Nunavut). These objects are carved from bone, ivory, & stone. The gallery also offers First Nations artists, Dene, Haida, Coast Salish, Ojibway and others.
    Most people will not be able to visit these remote indigenous homelands, so here is a place where you can view & purchase these unique artworks.
    Open every day 10am-6pm.
    Thank you to the helpful & informative staffer who answered all our questions on our visit.

    Just thought I'd share what a wonderful and enlightening experience my daughter and I had sculpting with Joel and staying at His and Rob's beautiful Loggia. The location of the Loggia right in the heart of the artists section of beautiful Montreal and one block away from Joel's sculpture studio could'nt be more inspirational for this (me) budding sculptor. The rooms are spacious, with wonderful beds and beautiful art all around (and for sale too!). The common room upstairs has a wonderful homey feel where you can while away a quiet morning and the breakfast menu was expansive and healthy.
    My daughter came away with a much greater understanding of what great sculpture entails, and I will be back to tackle a full weeks intensive tutelage under the master sometime in the fall. Guess you can say, what are you waiting for?

    I stopped in because it was near my hotel when I was out exploring the city. Benoit was so personable and made me feel so welcome even though I had no intention of buying anything. I didn't think I could even afford anything there, but there was an affordable piece I couldn't forget so I returned to buy it. He poured me a glass of white wine while he wrote up my purchase and even carried it to my hotel for me. That is something I'll never forget.

    I was showing my parents around the city and we walked into a couple of galleries in Old Port. This gallery particularly stood out to me. There are very original and beautiful pieces that paly with different moods, techniques, and mediums.
