Allô Montréal is a tip of the chapeau, a salutation, a "bec" on both cheeks to the city that beckons us, feeds us and inspires us. Montréal.

This two-month show featuring 10 artists will celebrate the city, “that is physically so close you could call it Ottawa’s kissing cousin,” says curator Don Monet.

“This show is meant to celebrate Montréal and pay tribute to a city that is an internationally-renowned cultural mecca. And we are lucky enough to have it as our very alluring next door neighbour.”

Montréal draws us with its art, its culture and its cosmopolitan verve. It feeds us with its world class cuisine, it’s sophisticated art, museums and it’s par excellence shopping. Then it sends us home feeling a little more worldly.
These ten artists, in an expression of what Montreal is and what it represents to them, will explore the people, the history and the present day pizzazz that make this city "Canada's Cultural Capital" according to Monocle Magazine.

Montréal has been named a UNESCO City of Design, in league with Berlin and Buenos Aires. It is home to what is considered the largest underground complex in the world. It has been the springboard for talent in the fields of visual arts, theatre, music, and dance.
