Surfaces, l’expo d’art urbain

This summer, the Quartier des Spectacles is taking the pulse of Montreal’s street-art scene. Surfaces, l’expo d’art urbain, running from August 23 to October 28 on the Promenade des Artistes, presents a group of unique urban artworks – they type of art usually seen in back alleys or on the sides of buildings. The 14 pieces in Surfaces – all original creations for the exhibition – are the work of 16 Montreal-based artists and collectives who were invited to unleash their creativity for this downtown open-air exhibition. Surfaces is an initiative of the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership, produced in close collaboration with Montreal’s main street art associations: Ashop, Artgang, LNDMRK, MASSIVart, Mu and Under Pressure.
