The art scene in Laval
Laval does not have the gallery density of its neighbour, but it has its landmarks. The Maison des arts de Laval, with its Alfred-Pellan exhibition hall, shows contemporary work and artists from the region. The name is no accident: the painter Alfred Pellan lived and worked in Laval for much of his career, and the city has kept that connection alive.
The former villages that make up the city, such as Vieux-Sainte-Rose, keep a heritage feel that suits a slow walk, artisan shops and neighbourhood cultural events. Many Laval artists work from home studios rather than storefronts, which makes direct contact all the more useful: it is often the best way to discover what they make. And Montreal’s galleries and museums are only a short drive away when you want a wider view.
On Artblr, you can find artists in Laval and the surrounding area, compare their work and contact them without a middleman. Interested in a painting? Ask for extra photos or offer to drop by and see it. Direct contact comes with no commission.
