Papineauville welcomed the In Situ Art Symposium in the summer of 2023, under the theme “Imagine, Sow, Harvest.” The seven artworks are well-established in the heart of the village in front of the Sainte-Angélique church, where you can admire: “Ce que l’on sème” by Laurence Petit, “Semence” by Jonathan Bouchard (Jobi), and “La dame aux oiseaux” by Martine-Carole Gagnon. At Henri-Bourassa Park: “Spirale matic” by Michael Kinghorn; “J’ai la tête en gigue” by Denis Charrette, and “Semer, s’aimer,” the anamorphic sculpture by Éric Lapointe. Finally, at Place Bonhomme: “Les Confettis de joie” by Hélène Béland-Robert.
The seven new public art pieces bequeathed to the municipality of Papineauville now enrich the public art trail developed by the Centre d’action culturelle en Petite Nation since 2013, thanks to the collaboration of host municipalities, the generosity of artists, and the support of the Papineau MRC, among others.
Art and artists enhance our living environments and contribute to the attractiveness of our territory. The Centre is proud to make art accessible in rural areas and to showcase the work of professional artists from the region and Quebec.
