THE JOYS OF OUTDOOR LIFE
In Quebec, no matter the season, we know how to enjoy the outdoors thanks to a variety of fun activities. Depicting these activities and the joy of the people who participate in them—often children—is one of the favorite challenges for Quebecer painters. To showcase these scenes, five artists from different regions of the province were invited to participate in this exhibition. They are Chantal Gingras of Charlesbourg, Jenny Hellers of Montreal, Christine Genest of Victoriaville, Sharon Mark of Hemmingford, and Danielle Corriveau of Lévis.
As part of this presentation, some twenty artworks reflecting the diversity of these naive artists are presented. This exhibition will continue until June 7th, 2026.
Welcome
Friends of Naive Art, you have landed at the right place. Whether a professional artist, a Sunday painter, a collector, a gallery operator, a researcher, an educator, a student or passerby, there is something new to stir your curiosity. A wind of another kind is blowing from the paintings of our featured artists. You will be hard pressed to discover how everyday life can become a philosophical quest.
The Collection
Around 850 art works, more than 300 artists, 34 countries, 5 continents! Is there some serious thinking in this naive form of expression? Playfulness can rightly be expected, but subtle questioning of an era or society? Are there strange relationships to your own concerns and whereabouts? Dreams, empathy, desire to better the world and this strong urge to travel into foreign lands and minds are all there, ready to challenge you, as seen in this animation showcasing the permanent Exhibition or our permanent collection .
