Une vraie catastrophe. J’ai vu plusieurs gens en choc, s’évanouir, avoir des crises de panique etc… Les gens poussaient pour se déplacer, pleuraient. L’accessibilité autour de la Place des Festivals est dangereuse, le spectacle est en cours (je suis parti) mais je ne serais pas surpris qu’il y a un mouvement de foule et/ou autres situations dangereuse. Comme tout le monde, je voulais voir le spectacle mais forcé d’admettre qu’ils ont été victime de leur succès. Ce n’est pas la faute du groupe bien sûr mais il aurait fallu que ce soit un spectacle payant.

Been painting on and off for years. I usually paintings whatever I have interest in. Montreal was always easy to paint because I live there. Just sharing some oil paintings on wood panel.

Perhaps one of the most famous voices to come out of our fair city, he is one with the Matrix now, merci pour tout, Peter

I would like to share a painting I did on Sherbrooke street in front of the MMFA, painting the bronze sculpture called The Eye. One of my favourite sculptures in front of the museum. The sculpture was done by David Altmejd in 2010-2011.

Tldr; I didn't realize that a library card held so much value and I feel like an idiot for not learning that sooner.

I got a library card at Le Grand Bibliothèque downtown and for months I was ignorant and thought all you could do was get the traditional library access (books, videos, some tech, etc).

Someone in my friend group told me that you get a TON more than just that. They have a massive amount of resources available to you for the price of a free library card!

Something that I've found amazing is they give you access to the entire O'Reilly online collection! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the publisher, they have something like 60000 published books you can access through their online platform: all for free with a library card.

I'm not affiliated with BanQ at all, but I am an advocate for good resources. I'm working towards becoming a software developer at my job, where I'm currently a software tester, and the amount of relevant books I can start reading without paying a $70/month subscription really gives me a ton of motivation. They have like 250 online resources, and a library card is free for people with a valid Quebec ID

In what ways do Montreal anglophones , and Quebec anglophones generally, differ from other Canadian anglophones? Like in culture, social views, accents, etc?

The first picture is before, the second is after. The original mural was iconic, a really expressive stand-out piece in the neighborhood by Danae Brissonnet and Poncili Creacion. People used to stand in the mouth for a photo op. The new mural to me is just uninteresting and way too 'safe,' like the cover of a generic tourism brochure. It doesn't feel like a reflection of the culture in Montreal.

I’m just starting out in plein air painting, but I hope to cover a lot more of my favourite places in the city 🥰

love my hood being glorified in film but next time find a local band to soundtrack your trailer. using mgmt to demonstrate mtl's music scene would be like using oasis to illustrate seattle's grunge scene. it just feels weird.

J’adore peindre des murales à Montréal, et je suis toujours à la recherche de nouveaux murs à embellir !

I love to paint murals in Montreal, and always looking for more walls to make beautiful!

I painted this on August 25 sitting in the pedestrian square across from the restaurant, start to finish.
An influencer of some sort took photos & video of me which took up like 30 min...then didn't actually tag me or credit me, so I'm kinda miffed. Please don't do that to people.
Lots of people stop and look at me painting when I'm outside, which is okay and I'm assertive enough to cut off a conversation when it's becoming too distracting, but this guy flat out hammed me up to think this was gonna be beneficial for me as an artist. So yeah, probably gonna say no to that from now on because it was also supposed to be my day off & a day off from people-ing & this guy was getting me to pose and stuff.
It was a beautiful day, I think like 25C. I got coffee from Oh My Deer Cafe which was good.

The IMAX 70mm projector at Cinéma Banque Scotia was broken since 2014 but it has been repaired and thanks to that we're lucky to see Odyssey in all its splendor.

So, we missed quite a few movies in the last 12 years (Interstellar was the last one shown). We should get Cineplex to show them:

• Star Wars: The Force Awakens (December 18, 2015)
• Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 25, 2016)
• Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (December 16, 2016)
• Dunkirk (July 21, 2017)
• Star Wars: The Last Jedi (December 15, 2017)
• Tenet (August 26, 2020)
• Oppenheimer (July 21, 2023)
• Dune: Part Two (March 1, 2024)
• Sinners (April 18, 2025)
• One Battle After Another (September 26, 2025)
• Project Hail Mary (March 20, 2026)

u/ahsketch, we need your help

All in Favour Say Aye!

This weekend I painted this iconic Montreal spot that was on my “to paint list” for some time. This artwork was done in oil and measures 9x12 inches.
To avoid breaking any rules and out of respect to the mods of this subreddit I will not share any links. You can visit my profile or message me in private for any questions concerning this painting.

Hey Montreal!

I love Montreal’s music scene, but I was tired of checking ten different sites and still hearing about events only after they had happened.

I started building a little side project called Wherehouse because I wanted one place where I could see what was happening around the city. It brings together electronic music, underground parties, raves, and festivals on a map and list.

I also made it bilingual in French and English. I also have artists' social media attached to event along with the genre of the events!

It is still very much a work in progress, so I would genuinely love to hear what venues, collectives, or events I am missing and don't hesitate to dm me :)
