The Art Collective

The Art Matters Festival is coming soon! We will post a detailed schedule of The Art Collective events in the near future. So far we've secured collective events with McGill University and UQAM, with a permanent show at the Mezzanine.

Our Friday morning meetings (at 9h30 in room 313,315 or 317 in the VA building of Concordia University) are the main production events. For those of you who hate Friday mornings (not my choice!), we are planning an evening meeting. We'll post the details here.

The Art Collective is evolving. Our art is getting more focused. As we learn to work together and in particular as we start to understand better the artistic approach of each other, our work reflects that awareness. This is one example. There is a lot more to see once you click on the "Our work" link on the right!

Image was begun by collective member Jarmila Kavena, who included a form similar to one in her solo show, The Foundry Series Sequences, seen recently at Gesù gallery, 1200 Bleury St. in downtown Montreal.

Tuesday March 15, 2005, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.: The Collective presents an Interactive Drawing project at McGill University, that is part of Concordia University's Art Matters festival. Students from the two universities will work together on drawings and put up their pieces on The Collective's Interactive Wall. Concordia art students and McGill art history students are expected to be particularly interested in this event, as well as alumni of Concordia Fine Arts and McGill's Art History department.
The event is being co-sponsored by McGill's Midnight Kitchen, a collectively run food service which is similar to Concordia's Peoples Potato.

The event is in Room 302 of the William Shatner University Centre, at 3480 McTavish St., on the west side of McGill's campus, between Sherbrooke St. and Docteur-Penfield. McGill metro station. Lunch is served from 12:30 to 2. The meal is vegan and by donation, and the suggested donation is $2.
