La Maison des artistes visuels francophones

This Gallery regularly pleases and is always worth a visit. It's not large, but the eclectic exhibitions are usually worth a visit. Don't forget to check the yard. Even in the nighttime the outside is neat.

These 2 exhibitions are by 3 artists. Sheila Spence and Gilles Hebert have an exhibition Back to Paradise. Both artists have displayed a series of items and images that conjure up memories of pleasant times and fun places. Spence's photographs of family outings, mostly at Grand Beach, are both nostalgic and evocative of family get togethers. Hebert's collection of collections of found memories is like looking at myriad time capsules of not only people but cultures as well. There are some oddities, check out the rocking chair off to the side.

Freya Perron is an artist working in textiles. Here she is using the soft textures of woolly like things to create the shapes more usually associated with rocks and other hard objects. In addition, the works are all mounted and framed in exquisite fashion, the framer even gets a nod at the entrance. It is interesting that at first they don't seem like much, but you quickly realize that they are very attractive and pleasing. (Possibly this is a result of my background since there is a strong resemblance to Star Trek tribbles) Almost with a sense of chamber music, they would provide a pleasant atmosphere to any setting.

It's not a large Gallery, but it is always worth visiting if you're in the area, and very often worth the effort even if you are not. Bus service is very good, so you don't need to worry about parking. There are several good restaurants within walking distance, especially Chaise Lounge just down the street.

Beautiful sculptures by local artists. Occasionally, noon shows in the summer.

Interesting place to walk and look at the sculptures.
