The aim of our mediation activities is to encourage the public to deepen their knowledge while drawing on their own. In this way, the Foundation aims to encourage involvement and active participation in the creation of new experiences. Mediation initiatives include educational and artistic co-creation projects, artist and researcher residencies, and projects that promote the active involvement of the public in the development of the museum’s activities.
Research-creation residency: Call for projects ongoing until May 25th, 2025
For over ten years, the Fondation has welcomed artists in residence who wish to develop projects with a historical perspective and an interest in creating dialogues with the work of Guido Molinari. Through these residencies, the Foundation aims to become involved in current aesthetic and theoretical debates, to revisit bodies of art history with a contemporary eye, and to promote the work of current Quebec artists in a way that resonates with the issues raised by Molinari’s work.
Tea at the studio – Once per exhibition
For each new exhibition, enjoy extended opening hours during an evening of mediation entitled Tea at the studio. Join our team for a guided tour of the current exhibition, while enjoying an infusion from Herboristerie Desjardins.
The date of the next Tea at the studio is May 1st, 2025 for the Chromatopia exhibition.
Onsite mediation – At all times
Take advantage of our team’s presence during your visit of our exhibitions to ask questions and share your impressions. In addition to presenting the exhibitions, our volunteers and team members will provide you with additional information about the artists, the works and the Foundation.
