From discarded objects to Montréal walls.
L'Original began with a simple idea: give a second life to what the city leaves behind, through the eyes and hands of artists.

The short version
Three chapters, one idea.
2018
A second life
Discarded furniture, clothing, and materials became the starting point for new work by local artists.
The galleries
Two addresses, 100% local
The project grew into two Montréal galleries devoted to the artists shaping the city's visual culture.
Today
From walls to digital
PickArt extends that mission by helping artists meet collectors far beyond the gallery walls.
