The City of Brossard celebrates the Journées de la culture with exhibitions and activities.
As part of the 26th edition of the Journées de la culture, taking place from September 30 to October 2, the Ville de Brossard is inviting the public to visit its two exhibitions and take part in various activities at the Georgette-Lepage Brossard Library. These three days of celebration are an opportunity for everyone to learn about culture, and to be enriched by the cultural and artistic performances of participating individuals and organizations.
Two exhibitions
Center de soutien entr’Aidants – Hall des Arts
Until October 27
Through 30 photo portraits and video testimonials, this exhibition recounts the stories of the community that has gravitated around the Centre de soutien entr’Aidants over the past 30 years. Discover the realities not only of caregivers, but also of the volunteers and staff members who have helped build the organization we know today; their pitfalls and joys, as well as the various reasons that led them to adopt their role. Everyone is involved, dedicated and, above all, committed.
Geneviève Després – Espace Mur-mur des arts
Until October 30
Industrial designer Geneviève Després has been illustrating children’s books for the past fifteen years. She has lent her vision, humor and sensitivity to many authors from near and far. She has produced over forty illustrated children’s books and hundreds of illustrations based on other people’s words. She presents some of her works, taken from children’s books, each telling a unique story in a distinctive style. A pictorial exhibition to inspire young and old alike!
