In a bold reimagining of the traditional art show, a new exhibit called Showcase will transform a Knowlton home into a vibrant, living gallery displaying the work and objects of four well-known artists and art experts.

The Heart of the Exhibit: Marc-André Fortier

At the heart of the exhibit is the work of internationally celebrated sculptor Marc-André Fortier, the official sculptor of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team. He is renowned for creating bronze statues of legendary hockey players and many others in public places.

The show will feature 40 Fortier sculptures and creations, many never before displayed.

Additional Featured Artists

There will also be works by:

• Nadine Hennelly, digital artist and photographer
• Select pieces from Simon Bergeron, owner of Maison Bergeron of Sutton and acclaimed expert in decorative arts in all its forms.

A Vision by Odile Cloutier

This innovative exhibit is the brainchild of interior designer Odile Cloutier, an artist herself and owner of Odile Cloutier Design. It will be hosted at a home that Cloutier has just finished remodeling and renovating.

Cloutier says she came up with the concept because she wants to offer visitors a glimpse into the potential of art beyond gallery walls, demonstrating how sculpture, photography, and design can transform and elevate a home — from intimate living room corners to striking entryway displays.

It is a groundbreaking fusion of art and living – art appreciation reimagined.

Adding an intriguing twist, the property itself will go on the market soon after the exhibition closes.
