Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal

Arsenal Contemporary Art

Arsenal Contemporary Art is a private art center and cultural initiative founded by the patrons Pierre and Anne-Marie Trahan. Its mandate is to support the creation, production and dissemination of contemporary Canadian art through a variety of projects, including exhibitions showcasing Canadian artists alongside international artists that are organized in-house or by guest curators.  

Opened in Montreal in 2011, Arsenal Contemporary Art has also been a commercial gallery in New York since 2017. 

Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal 

Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal is located in the heart of Griffintown, on the north bank of the Lachine Canal, in a former 19th-century shipyard. A testament to the neighborhood’s industrial past, the 80,000-square-foot building, renovated in 2012, hosts several exhibitions of Canadian and International artists each year.

Collection Majudia

The Collection Majudia is a permanent entity with its own exhibition space at Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal. The collection is presented to the public in the hope of inspiring more people to collect contemporary art and include Canadian contemporary artists in their collections.
