  • Description

    Description

    We are an artistic center based on the biggest private garden of the Outaouais. We aim to discover and know the unknown artists of the world.

    We aim to have a bigger portion of said garden produce food for a year-long stash and create a true and peaceful place by embellishing the space.

    We often welcome nonartistic but wholesome activities as well such as Retreats, Kids Gardening (in association with the school), midwives' circles, board game nights, etc.
    We often organize events such as retreats, jams, live sessions, and video clip shoots. We are part of the local social life and also partake in many events held by our pairs.
    There are lakes around, we often go to the beach, and we have a forest for hiking. There is Park Omega nearby. We also participate in the organization of the Medieval festival of Montpelier.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our motto is "Heal, Share, Explore".
    We can teach people: Arts, Cooking, Herbology (basic), General Culture, Finances for Artists, Computers, and a plethora of skills that make a whole. We believe knowledge transfer is horizontal and more of a "here are my tricks" rather than hierarchical.
