artch festival – 7th edition

The 7th edition of the festival will take place, for the 2nd year running, at PVM in the lobby of 1 PVM, at 1, Place Ville Marie. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover the work of 21 emerging artists, attend performances and workshops, and participate in guided tours. The full festival program will be announced shortly!

Since 2018, artch has identified, trained, mentored, and provided a platform for early-career visual artists. Year after year, the artch festival has cemented its reputation as a premier event for contemporary art in Quebec. By transforming public spaces into an exhibition, artch offers emerging artists professional training, and connects them to Montreal’s visual arts community through an exhibit that repurposes public space. The festival is dedicated to nourishing Montreal’s visual arts scene by engaging new collectors and highlighting emerging contemporary artists.

artch would like to sincerely thank PVM, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, RBC, Carrefour jeunesse-emploi Montréal Centre-Ville, Canadian Heritage, Borough of Ville-Marie, the Canada Council for the Arts, Conseil des arts de Montréal, and Boldwin for their vital support, which makes the artch festival possible.
