The Saint-Lazare library is pleased to welcome artists from Saint-Lazare and the region to exhibit their works of art during the month of March. The vernissage will take place on Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m. The exhibition will run until March 28, during library opening hours.

Nadia Picard, Saint-Lazare's head librarian, explains the origins and reasons behind this exhibition, which returns to Saint-Lazare every year: 

‘At the Saint-Lazare library, culture plays an essential role, and we are particularly keen to highlight the richness of the local artistic community. Every year, we organise a group exhibition to give artists whose repertoire doesn't necessarily allow them to have a solo show an opportunity to share their work. Our aim is to promote arts and culture, while creating a space where creative people can meet and exchange ideas. This initiative is a catalyst for breaking down barriers and encouraging openness in the world of art ',
