Thanks to 360° video projections, the main studio of Les 7 Doigts will be transformed into a true immersive visual experience, while peripheral spaces will serve as a showcase for artistic installations and host an exhibition of original works by Riopelle.
The Inuit Space will highlight the culture and richness of Inuit art, which was a significant source of fascination for Riopelle, inspiring him to create several works. Interactive installations will allow playful participation through manipulable game-sculptures, clay shaping, or an infrared interactive system enabling the creation of digital artworks inspired by Riopelle's grand mosaics.
Multigenerational plastic arts workshops will be offered free of charge, by registration, during the spring break in collaboration with the Riopelle Studio.
A universal ode to creativity and the wild nature that will inspire both newcomers and passionate visual art enthusiasts.
