Dare-Dare, Artist-run center in Little Burgundy, Montreal, Canada
Description
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.
History
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.
