What to do this month

Pour la saison printanière, le Musée Bruck présente l’exposition Entre lumière et matière de Léa Mercante qui propose une série de tableaux vibrants de couleurs, de lignes et de fils. L’exposition se déroulera du 8 mai au 5 juillet 2025.

BRUCK MUSEUM – From May 8 to July 5, 2025, the Bruck Museum in Cowansville is proud to present Entre lumière et matière, an exhibition by Léa Mercante.

In this series of luminous, textured paintings, the artist explores the links between substance and form, using threads, fabrics and translucent materials. She composes abstract works that evoke veritable imprints of light, translating her perception into a sensitive, vibrant language. Between trompe-l’œil and poetic compositions, her works offer a fascinating dialogue between light and matter.

To find out more about the exhibition and the artist, consult this press release (in french only).

Musée Lac-Brome Museum Sydney Fisher

LAC-BROME MUSEUM – Until April 2026, Knowlton’s Lac-Brome Museum presents Going Global: the Hon. Sydney Fisher’s Travels to the World Expositions.

The exhibition pays tribute to Sydney Arthur Fisher, federal Minister of Agriculture from 1896 to 1911, and his influence in Brome County. Through his work at the Alva Farm experimental farm, Fisher promoted the participation of local farmers in several World’s Fairs held between 1886 and 1906, including the 1903 World’s Fair in Osaka, Japan. Maple products, cheese and butter from the county were showcased.

The exhibition highlights Fisher’s contribution to agriculture, the regional context at the turn of the century, and the role of world’s fairs in disseminating local know-how.

To find out more about the exhibition, visit the Lac-Brome Museum’s website.
