Inauguration d’Espace Diffusion
Nous étions plusieurs invités sourires aux lèvres, hier soir à participer à l’inauguration d’Espace Diffusion et au dévoilement de sa programmation 2022/2023. Jadis le Théâtre Tournesol à Cowansville créé en 2002 est maintenant Espace Diffusion.
Il est dit, qu’il manque de relève! De jeunes entrepreneurs se sont mobilisées pour redonner une nouvelle vie au Théâtre des Tournesols. Ainsi, Espace Diffusion est maintenant sous la direction, pas d’un, ni de deux, mais de cinq jeunes entrepreneurs sachant bien user des forces de chacun, afin de remettre un nouveau souffle à cet établissement à faire rayonner les arts et de la culture dans la belle région de Brome-Missisquoi.
Espace Diffusion est maintenant sous la bonne et jeune gouvernance de Mme Josiane Noiseux, M. Philippe Mercier, M. Adam Pearson, Édouard Lagacé et Marc Danis. Le Théâtre Tournesol, que dis-je, Espace Diffusion a eu une cure de rajeunissement. Des revitalisations ont été faites avec des nouvelles loges en arrière-scène ayant une entrée spécialement faite pour les artistes. Un nouveau hall d’entrée saura bien accueillir les invités et la section bar lounge est conviviale pour les rencontres avant spectacles et entractes.
Nous pouvons palper l’effervescence des nouveaux propriétaires. Ils ont plusieurs initiatives en tête, afin de donner à la région de Brome-Missisquoi une salle de spectacle multifonction sachant répondre aux demandes du milieu et à tous les âges. Comme le mentionnais Mme Josiane Noiseux co-propriétaire d’Espace Diffusion, « Nous voulons débuter de façon sobre et s’ajuster au lieu d’avancer trop rapidement. »
Cela dit comme vous pourrez le constater par la programmation ici-bas, les spectacles sont de marque et débuterons le 16 septembre 2022. SpotEv tentera d’avoir l’ensemble des spectacles, afin de vous informer des ajouts d’artistes et l’achat des billets directement.
Pour vous assister nous avons ajouté le lien vers la billetterie d’Espace Diffusion pour chacun des spectacles.

Expostion à la Vieille Usine de Léa Ménard | DE MÉMOIRE
Article provenant de l'infolettre de la Vieille Usine de l'Anse-à-Beaufils
L'exposition De mémoire est la première d'exposition solo de l'artiste Léa Ménard. Son intention était de proposer un corpus d'oeuvres textiles réalisées au courant des trois dernières années, incluant une œuvre ou une petite série d’oeuvres conçue exclusivement pour son exposition à la Vieille Usine. Son travail s'articule particulièrement autour des thèmes de la mémoire, du souvenir, de la nostalgie et revêt un aspect pseudo-historique. Elle utilise la figuration et particulièrement le médium de la photo pour explorer les relations que les gens ont avec les souvenirs, que ceux-ci soient gardés, perdus, transmis, inventés ou oubliés. L’exposition “De mémoire” présentera donc différentes œuvres et séries d’oeuvres qui évoquent ce thème d’une façon ou d’une autre.
De mémoire sera présenté dans l'Espace de diffusion de la Galerie-Boutique de la Vieille Usine de l'Anse-à-Beaufils du 11 juillet au 7 août 2022. Cette exposition est en partenariat avec le Centre d'artistes Vaste et Vague.

Exposition à venir à La Vieille Usine - Marise Duguay | HISSONS LES VAGUES
Information provenant des infolettres de la Vieille Usine
Marise Duguay travaille avec la mémoire des odeurs, des sensations, de cette nature qu’elle évoque avec une fantaisie séduisante renouvelée. Fascinée par le jeu des miroitements, elle peint des voiliers, métaphore de la liberté. Ils naviguent, transparents, sur une mer onctueuse, richement texturée dans une gamme abondante et savante de bleus.
Ses origines gaspésiennes expliquent peut-être ce rapport privilégié à la nature et sa confiance dans le pouvoir qu’elle exerce sur l’artiste qui s’en inspire.
Sa démarche témoigne de sa foi en la beauté et de son désir de la traduire. Dans l’univers pictural de Duguay les oiseaux chantent encore, le soleil se lève sans ombre, le vent souffle une brise lumineuse et réconfortante, les bateaux sont une promesse, voile tissée d’eau et de ciel. Sans oublier les jardins, source d’enchantement continue. Son exposition Hissons les vagues sera accroché du 26 juillet au 22 août au Café-Bistro de la Vieille Usine de l'Anse-à-Beaufils.
Marise Duguay est originaire de Ste-Thérèse de Gaspé. Son travail est empreint de la nostalgie des grands espaces et de la mer de son enfance. Elle a maintenant un petit atelier/galerie à Montréal. Elle peint depuis mon jeune âge et de façon permanente depuis 2000.
Au courant des vingt (20) dernières années, elle a participé à de nombreuses expositions et symposiums dans Lanaudière et dans l’Estrie. Elle est membre du Circuit des arts Memphrémagog depuis 2003 en tant qu’artiste et membre du Conseil d’administration des neuf (9) dernières années. Elle est également membre de l’Association Culturelle en Arts de Repentigny.
Elle a exposé en solo à Montréal, à deux reprises à L’Institut national de santé publique du Québec ainsi qu’au Centre d’interprétation du Marais de la rivière aux cerises de Magog.
L’été dernier, elle a été invitée à une émission d’une demi-heure sur les ondes de Nous TV, Cogégo Estrie, La route des arts. Elle a aussi gagné plusieurs prix dans Lanaudière.

Now, the third point is entirely subjective, so we will focus on the facts for you first.
These concerts and musical events will bring back the energizing zest of musicians and music lovers across the whole of Canada in 2022, and hopefully, create beautiful memories for thousands of concertgoers. This is one of the reasons why music festivals are important.
So, without further ado, let’s get into the list asap!
1. Francos de Montréal
Les Francos is the annual music and performance festival held in Downtown Montreal, Quebec, featuring French-language performers from all over the world. This year the Francos are from June 10th to the 18th, 2022
Many of the performances are free to the public and are held on various stages in and around the Quartier des spectacles (the square Km area for entertainment). People may also recognise the name Place des Arts which can be said to be the centre of Montreal's entertainment area. The Francos festival performances are also held at various theatres and halls and very often ticket purchases will be required
2. Jazz Fest
The Festival International de Jazz de Montréal (The Jazz Fest)
, which has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest jazz festival on the planet, has been synonymous with musical passion for more than 40 years. Every year, for ten days, the French-speaking metropolis of America becomes the meeting place for lovers of all types of jazz music. All this on a site that is unique in the world, open from noon to midnight and designed to meet all the needs of festival-goers, in the middle of a downtown area closed to automobile traffic. In short, during these magical weeks, Montreal is where the heart of the jazz world beats! Enjoy the return of the Jazz Festivities!

Do you have a musical appetite for avant-garde and a hankering for new sounds?
If the answer to both these questions is a ‘Yes’, then POP Montreal should be on your concert bucket list.
Founded by friends and colleagues in 2002 with the aim of creating a more meaningful and fresh cultural festival, POP Montreal will be entering its 20th year on the Montreal cultural festival map.

6. Coup de Coeur
Founded in Montreal in 1987, Coup de cœur francophone is a festival dedicated to the discovery and circulation of song in its many forms. Presented each year in November in Montreal as well as
in nearly 45 Canadian cities, it brings together artists from the national and international scene who are part of a program mainly focused on emergence, audacity and creation. In 1995, Coup de cœur francophone created its “travelling festival” component by setting up the Pan-Canadian Network, which today brings together ten active partners at the heart of Francophone communities. Flying over six time zones, the event presents around two hundred shows from the Atlantic to the Pacific each year. The Pan-Canadian Network aims to provide... a showcase for Francophone creation and to facilitate the circulation of artists, many of whom come from Francophone minority communities. In addition, it allows communities to have access to diversified programming offering a large place to new trends. Coup de coeur francophone is a festival like no other of its kind, which has known how to take off in order to make the song navigate over the currents of the Canadian and international Francophonie.
7. MUTEK
Dedicated to promoting electronic music and the digital arts with a focus on discovery, and artistic ingenuity, the festival is a MUST for anyone who is into experimental digital art.
There have been many editions of MUTEK around the world, with each year seeing the festival embark on creatively entertaining directions.
Please note: The festival is not meant for people who like to jump up and down on repetitive, looped rhythms, but is aimed at audiences who have a knack for experimental listening. The festival combines the audio and visual arts and has been breaking new grounds in artistic expression, ever since its inception.
Join the buzz from 23rd to 28th of August, 2022. To know more, click here.
Mutek has also been making sincere efforts to reduce its impact on the environment, by taking waste management seriously, as well as reducing waste production through various steps.
In 2021, they recycled almost 63% of the produced waste and redirected it from landfills.
Conclusion
To conclude, we believe the year has a festival to satisfy a wide range of musical tastes and preferences. The city of Montreal has always promoted the arts and culture through its festivals.
And at a time when celebrations have become more important than ever, the city promises to provide exquisite experiences for the true seekers of art and music.

Erin Loree is a talented Canadian artist from Toronto who likes to play with textures and colors. In one painting you can see familiarity with the album The Dark Side of the Moon from Pink Floyd and in another one you can match it with the album Teenage Dream from Katy Perry. One of her talents is the power she has to create totally différents work in her painting but at the same time always keeping her style in place.
