Espace Création
Welcome to Espace Création, a venue for exhibitions and activities dedicated to promoting the visual arts. This site provides a special showcase to budding and established creative artists from Québec.
Espace Création revitalises and bolsters the commitment Loto‑Québec made more than 30 years ago to actively support contemporary creative arts, while raising the public profile of La Collection Loto‑Québec.
La Collection selon... Les Impatients
January 20 to May 20, 2012
Come and discover La Collection selon... Les Impatients, which will be presented at Espace Création until May 20, 2012. Loto-Québec decided to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Fondation Les Impatients (in French only) with an event that called upon a number of personalities to produce this unusual and touching exhibition. The Foundation supports people suffering from mental illness by encouraging expression of the arts.
The personalities designed their segment of the exhibition using a selection of works of art made available by Collection Loto-Québec curator Louis Pelletier. Each piece was displayed as a focus point and twinned with a work of art produced by an "Impatient." The event therefore laid out a creative background to bring to light the quality of works produced by these unique artists.
The architects of this exciting presentation are Clémence DesRochers, spokesperson for the organization, Marc Béland, Pierre Bellemare and Gaétane Lupien (an "Impatiente"), Janine Carreau, Marie-Christine Champagne and Louis Champagne, Robert Dutton, Pierre Henry and Pierre Théberge, Céline Lacerte and Yves Lamontagne, Catherine Trudeau as well as Mariloup Wolfe and Guillaume Lemay‑Thivierge.
The rear room at Espace Création is dedicated to the world of "Impatients." The selection of these works was made by Louis Pelletier, head commissioner of the exhibition, with a view to demonstrating the Impatients’s freedom of creation and lack of barriers and enabling the public to get to know them better.
