The four selected artists will be invited to create original artworks. This quartet of unprecedented projects will be paired with artworks from the Collection Loto-Québec in view of creating a group exhibition which will be presented at Centre SAGAMIE in the fall of 2023. Around twenty works from the Collection Loto-Québec, chosen by the curator, will thus be linked with the propositions of the artists.
Congratulations to the artists!
