Art Walking Montreal
See All Lists
1. Musee d'art contemporain de Montréal
Not massive, but a space that manages to feel both wide open and labyrinthine. The curation is often provocative and touching - the website is bilingual so you can check what's showing before you show up.
Don't plan to spend a day - Fresh breath of…More »
2. Long Haul Gallery / Le Corrid'art
The Long Haul is amazing, like a storage facility gone mad with creative growth and community love sprouting out of every nook and pocket. They are blowing glass with flames, painting, sewing, drawing, soldering and producing incredible themed group…More »
3. Musee Des Beaux-Arts De Montreal
The Montreal fine arts museum consists of three amazing buildings connected by an underground hall that runs beneath Sherbrooke. The newest is a gorgeous historic church, modern and bright on the inside with 4 floors of Canadian art compellingly…More »
4. Belgo Building
The Belgo is home to over 30 galleries and artist studios making it an epicenter of Montreal's visual art community. You can roam around and poke your head in places and have adventures in here pretty much any day of the week. Check out the Galerie…More »
5. Tam Tam Mont Royal
5 stars under the "Awesome for what it is" policy. On a rolling patch of green stretching east down "the mountain" every Sunday a uniquely Montreal happening unfolds. Across an area the size of several football fields loosely centered around the…More »
6. Galerie Lacerte
Founded in Quebec city in the 1980s, Lacerte Gallery just opened the doors on it's Montreal location this summer and everything they've shown so far has been incredibly strong, touching, unexpected and lovely. The emphasis at Lacerte is on supporting…More »
7. The Empress - Cinema V
Writing this review because it needs to be said here on Yelp before the place is wasted and gone: what's happened to the Empress is a travesty. The architecture is unique in the whole country, finished in the 1920's and inspired by King Tut's tomb…More »
8. Librairie Drawn & Quarterly
Another super community oriented creative bright light on Bernard full of the best and most beautiful books - not just the weep-worthy graphic novels published by Drawn and Quarterly, but novels and books of poetry and non-fiction as well. I just…More »
9. Under Pressure Gallery
Very lofty, DIY space with some exceptional and diverse urban art exhibited. Fascinating space to explore if you get the chance, crazy crumbling old historic building now largely under the curation of the Under Pressure street arts festival. Not a…More »
10. Place du Quartier des spectacles
After the rumours and stress and community pressure the good news is the Place du Quartier des Spectacles is kind of amazing. It is a perpetually evolving free public art exhibit curated around the Contemporary Arts Museum and the Place des Arts…More »
11. Musee Des Maitres Et Artisans Du Quebec
Beautiful deconsecrated church moved stone by stone up to this spot near Cegep St Laurent, near Du College Metro, near Pendeli's pizza! The space itself is stunning, especially the raw wooden carvings of the angels along the archways of the nave and…More »
12. Eastern Bloc
Eastern Bloc is an arts organization focused on new media and interdisciplinary art. They configure their raw, white, lofty space near Jean Talon to suit the different events that they host or curate. It's also become a homebase for festivals like…More »
13. Galerie 1040
Just a beautiful room. Just a room in the plein milieu du Plateau, surrounded by all of the stone and brightly coloured porches and beauty we get used to living here but that brings tears briefly to the eyes of visitors from mass developed…More »
