ADÈLE BLAIS. WHAT WOULD WE BE?
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
May 11 to September 3, 2023
The painter and collage artist Adèle Blais seeks to shine a light on the history of women, who have been greatly forgotten in our collective stories. She puts her colourful pop aesthetic in the service of the memory of the women who came before her.
This exhibition recreates the conundrum of the founding women of the Eastern Townships and of Quebec. Our history is told through the fragments of Blais’ splintered collages, in which we find our roots and sometimes even family resemblances!
COULEURS MANIFESTES
PERMANENT EXHIBITION
The intensity of Couleurs Manifestes is visible in the power of colour to command our attention and to convey meaning and symbolism.
VIBRATIONS ON FIBRES 23. A RETROSPECTIVE OF THE WORK OF PAULETTE-MARIE SAUVÉ
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
May 11 to September 3, 2023
The Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke is pleased to host this major retrospective exhibition produced by the Musée des métiers d’art du Québec.
The exhibition covers 45 years of the work of artist and tapestry weaver Paulette-Marie Sauvé’s, primarily tapestries representative of different periods of her career. As the curator of the exhibition, Françoise Cloutier, remarks, Paulette-Marie Sauvé established herself as one of the leading figures in new Quebec tapestry as early as 1978, mastering bygone weaving techniques with a remarkable contemporary approach.
