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.
HALTE, created in 2016 and called in French the Pavillon de référence et de réflexion sur l'art dans l'espace public, is a reference and reflection pavilion on art in public space. The two source articles disagree on the year: the English version gives 2017, the French 2016. It is one of the seven parts of the centre's programme, alongside public intervention, critical space and public writing.
