Parle-moi d'amour

So glad I was able to see the Parle-moi d'amour event now showing at the Wilder Dance Centre, 1435 Bleury, Montreal.

The exhibition-auction brings together over 300 works of art made by Les Impatients and by professional artists. All works will be auctioned off to support the organization Les Impatients and their activities. Les Impatients' mission is to help people with mental health issues through artistic expression. It offers 64 workshops each week, reaching 650 patients per week, in 15 workshop locations in Montreal and area. It also encourages interaction with the community by sharing the works of its participants.

A silent auction is ongoing, and the event will end with a soirée on the final evening. February 27, 2019.

Some of the participating artists are familiar names. They include BGL, Marie-Claire Blais, Sonia Haberstich, Jennifer Hornyak, Ann McCall, Lili Richard, and Gabor Szilasi. Donated art includes works by Liz Magor, Guido Molinari, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Françoise Sullivan and Claude Tousignant.

The project will continue in April (St.-Lambert) and in May (Verdun). For more information, please visit the website.
