Artist Diane Collet in residence at Maison Valois

Multidisciplinary artist Diane Collet, a resident of Vaudreuil-Dorion, is taking up residence in the Maison Valois to create four works, which will then be exhibited on various buildings in the city. People are invited to come and meet the artist during her residency, until July 27. 

Here's the schedule where you can meet her: 

- June 29, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

- June 30 and July 6, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

- July 7, 13 and 14, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

- July 20 and 21, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

- July 27, 12 am to 4 pm

The unlikely little garden

As part of her residency, Diane aims to photograph the evolution of the community garden adjacent to Maison Valois. These images will serve as the basis for her digital drawings, enabling her to integrate elements of plant growth into her final works.

Drawing also on photographs of visitors (on a voluntary basis), she intends to create fantastical characters such as gnomes, fairies and hybrid creatures, integrating them harmoniously with vegetation and animality. Her aim is to illustrate that the creation of visual myths is part and parcel of contemporary art, contributing to today's culture.
