Blouin Division Gallery is very pleased to announce the major exhibition titled Quarante. Bringing together works by forty artists, this event aims to celebrate the liveliness of visual arts in Montreal. Conceived last spring in the first days of confinement, this exhibition was developed from a consultation with professionals and contemporary art enthusiasts who frequent the circuit of Montreal galleries. Its presentation takes up the entire second floor of Arsenal and the exhibition unfolds in unexpected juxtapositions, even at times intriguing, but always full of poetry.
