In 2025, faced with storage space constraints, the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke disposed of artworks from its collections, including some from its collection of naïve art. In this context, it offered numerous paintings to the MIANM, of which a total of 45 were accepted. This addition complements our collections and increases the number of artists represented in them. This exhibition of a select group of these artworks highlights the generosity of the Sherbrooke museum.
The permanent exhibition allows the museum to showcase different facets of naïve art through the jewels of its collection. Generally renewed every two years or less, it includes around thirty works, most often grouped by geographical origin or naive criteria. An important place is given to Quebec artists, among other works from the Americas, Europe or Asia, as well as to recent acquisitions.
Our exhibition "Naive Art from the World under COVID Influence" is still accessible: Naive Art from the Word under COVID influence - Project MFC-2 - Partnership MIANM-FIAN.
