Espace Maurice is an apartment-gallery located in Montreal’s Gay Village
and founded in 2021 by performance artist and curator: Marie Ségolène C. Brault.
Named in honor of the jewelry designer, artist and art therapist, Maurice Brault,
this unique space is dedicated to showcasing the works of emerging and self-taught artists
from both local and international spheres.
In addition to the on site exhibition programming, Espace Maurice has collaborated with curators and galleries on off-site exhibitions in Montreal and New York, as well as the production and distribution of artist catalogs, chapbooks and books, namely The Triumph of The Lonely Place by Genevieve Goffman, published in collaboration with Inpatient Press.
In 2023, Espace Maurice coordinated a two week artist residency in Youngstown (OH) which culminated in an exhibition and an accompanying publication. The second edition of this collaboration with community organizer and artist Rocco Sait, is set to take place in the Spring 2025.
Espace Maurice offers a dynamic platform for solo and group exhibitions, and has been featured in online and print publications such as Le Devoir, Peripheral Review, C Magazine, Whitehot Magazine, Public Parking, Pin-Up Magazine, Art Viewer,
and the Contemporary Art Library.
The gallery welcomes visitors every Saturday from noon to 5 PM at 916 Ontario E., Apartment 320. To ensure a personalized experience, please ring the doorbell upon arrival. For appointments, virtual tours, or access to our private catalog of available works, do not hesitate to get in touch.
Espace Maurice is a self funded project, the gallery accepts donations and support by community members and collectors. Every donation made to the gallery helps the longevity of these projects and the larger diffusion of the works exhibited.
