The McClure Gallery is honoured to host Illirijavut, a tenth anniversary retrospective exhibition featuring thirty-two original storybooks from nineteen artists created during a series of Inuit Storytelling and Storybook-Making Workshops. During these workshops, we gather together as artists and invite an Elder to tell us their “true life stories.” Participants transform Inuit oral histories into original graphic storybooks narrated with Inuit syllabic texts on accordion-style paper.

*Our values that are precious

CONSEIL DES ARTS DE MONTRÉAL EN TOURNÉE
Since 1983, the Conseil des arts de Montréal en tournée has been the largest touring arts event on the Island of Montreal. Produced in collaboration with the Accès Culture and ADICÎM networks, it allows Montrealers to attend a wide variety of exhibits, concerts, plays, films and other artistic activities in their own neighbourhoods, for free or for little cost.
