Special Events

Looking to spark your creativity over a leisurely brunch? Join us for our Crepes & Paint event in collaboration with Canvas Club.   The idea: enjoy a delicious breakfast from our crepes counter, then dive into a guided tote bag painting workshop. Are you a seasoned artist? Are you an amateur looking to try something new? An expert from the Canvas Club will be there to advise, inspire, and guide you throughout the session.

Seen through the eyes of illustrator Chien Champion, Montreal is a colourful, vibrant, cartoonish place on the border of reality and fantasy. Through Chien – an inquisitive, sensitive, ever-changing character – the artist crafts a story inspired by his life in Montreal and his family history, resulting in a sensitive journey through the Quartier des Spectacles and the downtown core.   At the heart of this story is a bag that accompanies the character. A symbol of migration and memory, it carries within it origins, journeys and stories. It serves as a reminder that, even when we’re on the move, we never truly stop carrying multiple versions of ourselves.   Comprising several installations, Bonjour Chien, d’ici et d’ailleurs follows a path punctuated by arrivals, games, learning and memories. Each stop explores a different way of living in the city and finding one’s place. The sculptures, installations and video projections either follow or respond to each other, using a rich and energetic hybrid visual language.

In collaboration with La Vitrine Québécoise by Les Effrontés, join us on Saturday, September 26 for a distinctive Afternoon Tea experience complemented by a fashion show celebrating 100% Québec designers and their Fall/Winter collections.
