The youngsters are sculpting with the artist Daniel Laramée

The long way to a finished clay sculpture…We start the process on October 21 at the “Spaghetti Day” held by the Club Richelieu Île Perrot. The young people will then give form to clay, each one working on a piece that will be integrated thereafter into a common work. But it cannot be completed immediately because clay takes 3 to 4 months to dry, and there is still no colour!

The pieces will thus be stored for drying and the painting session will take place in June at “Dehors, les artistes!” the Galerie Pierre Séguin’s annual art festival. 

Then during the summer, the artist will assemble all the small works in order to carry out the final work. This one will be exhibited at Galerie Pierre Séguin in August at a “vernissage” that will gather all the participants. 

Those who want to undertake this long adventure are invited to join us on October 21. The “Spaghetti Day” is held at the secondary school Chêne bleu, 225 boulevard Pincourt, in Pincourt. The meals will be served between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The price of the meal is $8 for adults, $4 for children 5 to 12 years old and free for children under 5 years old; the tickets will be on sale at the door. The young people will be able to take part in the sculpture workshop between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. (free of charge).

All the proceeds of the day are redistributed in the region by Club Richelieu Île Perrot to more than 50 organizations assisting young people and other charitable organizations.
