Art Matters
Art Matters is a student-run festival that showcases the diversity of Concordia University’s artistic community. The festival promotes emerging talent and provides students with professional experience by working alongside cultural institutions, galleries, and artist-run centers in Montreal and beyond. The Art Matters festival has exhibited work produced by Concordia undergraduate students in the fields of dance, video, music, design, creative writing, theatre and the visual arts. Annually occurring in mid-March, Art Matters features two weeks of exhibitions curated by Concordia students in venues throughout the city and hosts many special events such as vernissages, an opening party featuring live performances, and a lecture series of talks and workshops hosted by professional artists.
