A gesture of patience, know-how and transmission. For more than forty years, Plein Art has celebrated this gesture. Every summer, in the heart of Quebec, artisans from everywhere come together to share their work, their approach and their passion with the public. Plein Art highlights the richness of artistic crafts and recalls the value of handmade in our culture. Participating in Plein Art means taking part in a great celebration of the talent and creativity of local artisans. \u00bb-Mariouche Gagn\u00e9, general director, Quebec Crafts Council<\/p>\n<p>World-renowned jeweler Chantal Gilbert will be the artisan in the spotlight of this edition. His work has been recognized with several prestigious distinctions, including the Governor General of Canada Award (Saidye-Bronfman Prize, 2008). His works have been presented internationally in numerous individual and group exhibitions as well as during biennials. La Poudri\u00e8re will host a tribute exhibition in his honor throughout the Salon.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Plein Art Hors les Murs, presented by Desjardins, offers an interactive map that brings together craftspeople, heritage sites, workshop schools and craft boutiques across Quebec City. A living gateway to discover, explore and meet local know-how.
