Salon des métiers d'art 2012

Salon des métiers d'art

Salon des métiers d'art is a Montreal's annual show always held at Place Bonaventure. This year it will be open to public between December 7-22, 2012. Although it is mostly what French refer to as 'artisanat' and English as arts and crafts show, this year it also features some works of a considerable artistic merit.

This year the Salon also pays a special tribute to Ronald Labelle, a Quebec artist who works with glass but also uses mixed media. He is characterised by a diversity of techniques and materials.

You can see photos of his three works presented at the Salon at the top of this article, and also one of his other works just below.

Images of two other works of special artistic interest are shown below. The one to the left is presented by the Centre de Ceramique Bonsecours, and the other one to the right by the Institute des métiers d'art, CEGEP du Vieux Montreal.
