The traveling exhibition, "Contamination culturelle", continues to tour the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region. Since July 16, you can discover the works of some 20 local artists at Pointe-des-Cascades or Pointe-Fortune, depending on the tour you choose.

Born as a spontaneous response to the pandemic, "Contamination Culturelle" is a unique artistic approach to democratizing art by exhibiting works in outdoor public spaces.

Between now and November, the exhibition, which unfurls in three circuits, will stop in 14 of the 23 municipalities of Vaudreuil-Soulanges.

Gathered under the theme "Éléments Terre", the works are part of a dynamic process of weaving together citizens and the territory's natural and cultural resources.

More specifically, it is by highlighting three distinctive elements of this vast region - air, water and earth - that the artists have addressed their relationship to place, space, people and the living.

The works presented honor the specific characteristics of the region, and offer an opportunity to discover the geographic and societal personality of the territories visited.

The exhibition will continue its journey to Les Coteaux, Saint-Télesphore and the Ville de L'Île-Perrot over the coming months.
