The Community Art Lab (ArtLab) invites you to the opening of the 15th exhibition in the Pop-Up series, on Friday, January 17, from 5 to 7 p.m., in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition “Au creux des sillons. Shake the ground”, presented at the Foreman Art Gallery.

From January 17 to March 22, 2025, Pop-Up exhibition series showcases the artworks of artists Faustine Escoffier and François Lapierre, created as part of “The First Supper” project, at the invitation of Dr. Vivian Valencia, Research Chair in Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Action at Bishop’s University. The First Supper symbolizes the inaugural meal of a future we wish to see: a world in which food systems are sustainable, fair and equitable. In September 2024, a visioning workshop provided an opportunity to think collectively about “new” agri-food systems. Farmers, academics, students, food industry and agricultural professionals, and artists were invited to reflect on existing alternatives that could serve as lighthouses, as well as to imagine creative ideas for the future. Escoffier and Lapierre then created their own works, inspired by the narratives developed during the exercise.

The event is free, and refreshments will be served. As always, the ArtLab team is happy to invite your children for a creative workshop inspired by the exhibition during the opening.

We look forward to seeing you there!
