This is an eclectic, labyrinthian, and fascinating place inside, and it brings all sorts of unique and creative people together. I have gone to life drawing sessions on and off for almost 6 years, and have attended vernissages and events. I have also been hired by the owner to occasionally photograph larger expositions or activities. Recently I started going to their 5à7 evenings in their cozy little bar; on Fridays there has been a live jazz trio, and often a visitor may play on the piano. They also have a little cafe and boutique on the ground level. There is even a hidden mini cinema on the top floor. Because I live close by, it has become a second home; for keeping me making art part of my life, and connecting with a continually growing community. I hope their drawing sessions remain affordable so more people can discover the place, and because I have actually spent 6 of my last 14 evenings there! I sometimes finish the night with life drawing regulars or new friends at the convenient Lord William Pub directly underneath the Center. I don’t have an art practice that would require a studio, but there are painters, sculptors, potters, jewellers, and even a musician who rents space upstairs. I can appreciate that even if one could work on their art at home, having a dedicated and separate work space plus the prospect of being inspired by and connected to peers of all skill levels and styles could benefit anyone needing some extrinsic motivation and who enjoys a bit of lovely chaos and serendipity. The value (and likely scarcity) of spaces that support art and artists is higher than ever. This is an oddly-faceted and constantly shapeshifting, but brilliant and multicoloured gem that should not be taken for granted. I hope this quirky cultural institution remains a permanent asset to the city, a fixture in my neighbourhood, and even my life, because I am appreciating that there is no equivalent substitute that I can think of, and because the pandemic reminded me (hopefully others, too) of the importance of our “third spaces”; that which is not your actual home or workplace.

Сегодня я посетила нетворкинг-коктейль в Монреальском художественном центре и музее. Это мероприятие проводилось, чтобы помочь раненым украинским солдатам и мирным жителям восстановить свое тело и жизнь через украинскую благотворительную организацию UNBROKEN. UNBROKEN предоставляет лечение для пострадавших от войны украинцев, где взрослые и дети, пострадавшие от войны, могут получить комплексную квалифицированную медицинскую помощь, включающую реконструктивную хирургию, ортопедию и протезирование. В мероприятии принимали участие монреальский художник Оклер Ланглуа Auclair Langlois и всемирно известный пианист Мэтт Херсковиц Matt Herskowitz.Организатором мероприятия был член городского совета и заместитель мэра Вердена Sterling Downey. Оклер и Мэтт создали уникальное произведение искусства, объединив музыку и живопись, вдохновленные силой и стойкостью украинского народа. Работа была продана с аукциона, а выручка от продажи билетов пойдет UNBROKEN Я провела прекрасный вечер нетворкинга, где у меня была возможность встретиться с особыми гостями, в том числе с теми, кто служил и был волонтером в Украине. Билеты на «Арт-этюд» стояли 60$ на человека и включали в себя представление, экскурсию по музею, развлекательный буфет из траттории BOSSA, а также один бесплатный напиток Монреальский художественный центр и музей (1842 William St, Montreal, Quebec H3J 1R5) Организаторы Vlada Polischuk и Eramelinda Boquer,Sterling Downey

Terrible and unfair administration, I wouldn't recommend this place to any artist. The place seems great, until you break rules no one told you about. I went there with another artist and my partner at around 9. We went upstairs and had a few drinks at the bar area with some music, knowing that most artists had already left and that the remaining ones were also accompanied. I had to leave for a moment but when I came back, the people in charge were arguing with my boyfriend, as they were infuriated that we were having drinks AT THE LITERAL BAR AREA when no one had told us it was not allowed. They also complained about the noise, so I apologized for the trouble we may have caused, explaining that no one had explained us the rules, but that we were going to leave. Then the owner came too, he said that he would list me the rules the next day so that this wouldn't happen again, and he proceeded to take our keys. Unfortunately, I was lied to since when I finally called him, he told me I had to pack my stuff and leave without any explanation. So I was kicked out for breaking rules I didn't even know existed, without any kind of warning first. Plus, they didn't refund me for the rest of the month that I had already paid for.

Located in a beautiful historic building, this non-profit community art center offers so many amazing things. It also has so much warmth and charm. The piano bar on street level is cozy and classy and the larger event space upstairs is perfect for private and company parties, fundraisers and exhibitions. There are many art and music events happening here monthly. Themed holiday parties and live music events are always amazing. Performers and musicians are often booked for special events in the three bars. The museum is very interesting as well. The permanent private collection includes International, local and regional art, artifacts, photos, paintings and articles. They also provide studio spaces for artists to rent and host drawing and paint classes. As well there is a small movie theatre that often shows classic and popular movies and is also available for private screenings and events. If you live in the neighbourhood or are visiting, I highly recommend a visit. I have had the pleasure of performing for an event here and it was such a wonderful night.

A la fois musée et ateliers d’artistes, on trouve ici un concentré d’activités qui vont du 5 à 7 le vendredi soir aux séances de modèles vivants le jeudi soir et le lundi soir, pour quelques dollars… les modèles sont très professionnels. L’accueil est convivial, le staff tellement agréable, risque bien de vous donner envie de rester longtemps. Joli musée et expo saisissante, en ce moment, sur une Ukraine meurtrie qui nous touche et nous invite à reconsidérer la valeur de toutes choses au travers de photos. Le plus stupéfiant, ce sont les portes de maisons ukrainiennes exposées ici, sur place. Le chaos prend forme, et laisse deviner la terreur… La réalité prend une nouvelle forme avec ces objets qui ressemblent aux nôtres. On est ému.

Inside a historical building that once housed a business that made boilers for ships, you have the run of 3 floors of art works mixed in with many cosy, homey rooms. It's fairly easy for newcomers to get lost on the way upstairs or returning downstairs. There is a bar in the style of old time salon, a bit pricey, but so comfortable feeling, like drinking in an antique and historical living room. They also offer art classes. A rare find in an obscure location, which is rapidly becoming the nouveau condo area close to downtown yet even closer to the Lachine Canal. Worth the trip off the beaten path.

  • Brendan Brown

What a great find! My wife and I spent a fun, rainy afternoon exploring the many levels and spaces at The Montreal Arts Center/Museum. The guided headphone tour is narrated by Allan Diamond, the founder and artistic director, who we also got to meet in person and talk to. The eclectic rooms/galleries run the gamut from outsider art, fine arts, antiques to jewelry. I even loved the beautiful wallpapers! Well worth an “off the beaten path” visit.

This place is fun and interactive, a treasure hunt on the self-guided audio tour. Modern and classical art with eclectic rooms and very interesting acquisitions. I recommend this as a place for all ages, for anyone interested in art. Take a Bixi ride off the beaten path, good to combine with a visit to the market and arsenal art contemporain. Worth the $12 entry.

  • Ginette St-Onge

Bel endroit mais très peu de stationnement. Il serait bon de réserver une place de stationnement avant de vous y rendre. J'ai eu une place pour 15$ à 5 minutes mais ça été difficile à trouver. L'exposition est superbe!! J'ai été là pendant 4h 30 et j'aurais pu être encore 45 minutes pour tout écouter et lire. Bravo! Beaucoup de souvenirs disponibles à vendre

  • Randy MTL

Amazing. À little-known jewel of architecture, history and dynamic creativity. I hesitate to build it up too much for fear of depriving anyone of the internse pleasure of discovery which I experienced. All I can say is, Go there.

Did the life drawing session tonight and it was fantastic. It was my first time ever doing a life drawing class and definitely not the last! Ian was really kind and helpful with some tips beforehand and I’m really inspired to continue to learn more about drawing and art in general after this experience.

Centre d'art de Montreal is the first art centre that I visit, I have finished my portfolio of University here. They have nice place for musician and artist, I have seen so much great product here. There is also a cafeteria for artists. You can rent a room here, and also you can sell your products here.

  • Maujer Street

Truly a waste of time and money. Not interesting art — either in the studio spaces or the exhibitions. Really not interesting and quite odd the works they are showing.

Gorgeous little gem of a building in Griffintown. Interesting art, history, and art studios. Perfect outing on a Monday when almost every other museum is closed!
