The opening of the Expo du Plateau des Arts highlights the painting symposium under the honorary presidency of Annabelle Marquis and the exhibition "Les TempsPRESents" which presents the original works of the book as well as the texts. This year, a first marquee will be devoted to the painting and visual arts symposium under the honorary presidency of a well-known artist represented in Charlevoix, Ms. Annabelle Marquis. Fifteen artists mainly established in the Charlevoix region will also exhibit their works at the symposium. At the reception of the marquee, a heritage space reserved for Gabrielle Roy will help to become more aware of the legacy she left us. Our guest of honor for the literature section is the author and director from Petite-Rivière, Mr. Gaëtan Lavoie. Founder of Éditions Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, he will launch his latest book entitled Les TempsPRESents, which features evocative pictorial works accompanied by touching stories. The 43 original works by 32 artists and texts by 24 authors, many of whom are from the Charlevoix and Petite-Rivière region, will be exhibited there in a second marquee specially dedicated to the collection.
