Artch is an initiative whose mission is to identify, educate and disseminate the work of emerging Quebec artists in contemporary art.
The public will be part of an immersive experience during the event, enjoying a dozen free mediation activities created for all ages.
Artch is the true meeting spot for emergent contemporary art, taking place September 12th to 15th 2019, right in the centre of downtown Montreal, at the Square Dorchester.
