TRUCK STOP – OPENING !

Come celebrate the launch of Truck Stop, an ephemeral public art event !

Truck Stop is the result of an exceptional collaboration between two art organisations and communities, the Centre CLARK (Montréal) and l’OEil de Poisson (Québec). This major art event aims to disseminate contemporary art in unusual places to have us appreciate and question our relationship with the territory. Discover this exhibition of ephemeral public art stretched along highway 20, between Québec and Montréal. Visit the 15 original works created by visual artists and collectives, from June 17th to August 9th, 2017.
