Baie-Saint-Paul is well-known as one of Québec's municipalities with the most museums, art galleries, and artist workshops per square meter. Art and culture lovers will feel blessed.
Contemporary art holds a place of honor at the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul considered a provincial institution in this field. Throughout the year, one can see exhibitions by the best contemporary artists. For more than 25 years, the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul has organized the famous Symposium of Contemporary Art in Baie-Saint-Paul. This year, the Symposium will run from August 1 through August 31. Come and satisfy your appetite for contemporary art by visiting the workshops of some artists from the area.
Baie-Saint-Paul's tradition is greatly due to the fact that throughout the years a number of figurative artists have settled down in the area, finding their inspiration in the beauty of its landscapes and panoramas. This is why visitors will never cease to explore the countless art galleries which exhibit extraordinary paintings that express this inspiring beauty. Each year, this cultural reality reaches a peak in September and October during an event entitled Rêves d’automne, Festival paysages en peinture. During this event, some of the most talented figurative painters from Québec and elsewhere get together lighting up the town in a genuine explosion of colors!
