Culture Laval Artist Studio

Centropolis is proud to team up with Culture Laval to dedicate a space to four visual artists of Culture Laval. This creative hub will become their artist studio until February 2026, during which time they will each create a piece on the theme of “Laval heritage.” You are invited to attend cultural mediation activities during the artistic process, as well as the opening exhibition at the end of the project.
