VAC Teachers Exhibition 

For the first time in nearly twenty years, the Visual Arts Centre will present an exhibition of works produced by the teachers of its art school. The Centre is proud and delighted to highlight their art and show the school’s strength, variety, and vitality. The gallery invites you to discover the organic and timeless works of ceramicist Nathalie St-Pierre alongside the soft and poetic watercolours of Elisabeth Galante and Lorna Mulligan. The powerful and sensual torso presented by Eva Lapka, former director of the ceramics department, dialogues with the historical figure of Ludivine Lachance, a work proposed by Élise Provencher, current director of the department. From a feminist perspective, Caroline Boileau and Helena Martin Franco draw us into a hybrid universe where violence cohabits with pleasure and disgust rhymes with delight. Most of the pieces have never been seen and exhibited, and most were created between 2020 and 2022. Above all these works attest to the resilience, talent and remarkable creativity of our community of artists’ teachers.
