In July, most members of
the SAT team will be taking it easy! Meanwhile, several artists in residency
will be preparing works for the new season.

At the beginning of August,
we will be preparing a major exhibition and a program of conferences. Following
the “Vitrine transdiciplinaire” exhibition in 2000, the SAT will present
a second international exhibition featuring works by fifteen artists. With SAT
support, these works will see their Montreal and international debut alongside
works from international artists affiliated with SAT. From August 31 to October
2nd.

A press release will come
soon and more details will be available on our website in August.
