Dare-Dare, Artist-run center in Little Burgundy, Montreal, Canada
Dare-Dare is an artist-run center based in a mobile construction trailer that moves across Montreal neighborhoods to present contemporary art. The platform displays exhibitions, installations, and artistic projects at different locations throughout the city.
The center was founded in 1985 and started as a traditional gallery in the neighborhood. In 2004, it transformed into a mobile platform to bring contemporary art directly to different communities across the city.
The space brings contemporary art directly to Montreal neighborhoods through rotating projects that engage local audiences and artists in dialogue. Each presentation becomes part of the community's relationship with art and creativity in public areas.
Check the center's website to find current locations and exhibition dates, as the trailer moves regularly between neighborhoods. Plan time to explore the space, and remember that access and hours may vary depending on the current installation.
The center maintains HALTE, a specialized outdoor library housed in a shipping container at a local shipyard, dedicated to contemporary art in public spaces. This distinct collection allows visitors to explore texts and resources related to the exhibitions at various sites.
