DESCRIPTION:As an artist\, hosting your own exhibition can be one of the most rewarding\, yet equally challenging things you can do! From start to finish\, it requires careful planning\, due diligence\, collaboration\, and a great deal of creativity!\nSign Up Today!\nThis workshop is designed to guide you through the ins and outs of the various steps that go into the successful planning and execution of an exhibition!

Artistic expression played a significant role in shaping her identity. It is through this influence that the designer came to interpret clothing as a textile sculpture that encompasses the body\, transforming it into an object of art. \nFor the past 5 years\, La fille de Priam has been exploring the relationship between Art and Fashion. Through conceptual collections\, exhibitions\, and happenings\, this creative House pushes the boundaries of garment presentation. From performance to art installations\, the designer\, Cassandre Brillant\, uses unconventional materials such as silicone and plaster and dissects the garment through various techniques. \nThe House invests in Ateliers Jean Brillant and launches a non-place – the loüable space. Between a café\, gallery\, and showroom\, La fille de Priam aims to merge artistic spheres and revolutionize Montreal’s fashion scene. Inviting artists to showcase their artistic processes and immersing visitors in ephemeral installations. \nPre-registration is required. \nTransform your art business today and sign up for only $20.00* \nSign Up Today!\nThis workshop is available in-person at Espace Louable\, 3524 Rue Saint-Jacques\, Montreal. \nThis low registration fee is only possible thanks to our generous funders and partners.

His journey started in childhood with lemonade stands in his grandma’s driveway and selling photocopies of his hand-drawn cartoons at his uncle’s art supply store\, eventually leading him to pursue an education in business at McGill University.  \nWhile working towards a marketing major\, Owen continued to explore entrepreneurship – selling screen-printed t-shirts and hoodies to his friends in what would eventually become Ghoul RIP.

The combination of these opportunities brought success\, with his Etsy shop achieving six-figure revenue and a spot amongst the top 0.1% of sellers – all while still a student.  \nNow a graduate of McGill and faced with the need to expand beyond Etsy\, Owen remains a driven entrepreneur\, hungry for further achievement\, with the added benefit of real-world experience under his belt.  \nSecure your spot today and unlock a wealth of invaluable insights and resources for only $20.00* \nPre-registration is required \nRegister Now!\nThis workshop is available online. \nOnce you have registered for the online workshop\, you will receive an email with instructions on how to log on a few hours prior to the start time of the workshop.
