An AMAZING art gallery with only street artists from Montréal, I highly recommend it…read more I was amazed by the quality of the art, I was ready to buy everything even if am picky. The gallerist Dorian Verdier was nice and welcoming, it's really rare to have this kind of atmosphere. I've seen the artist in live painting, he was really nice and smart too. I can say that L'Original art gallery was my favorite gallery in the old Montréal.

I thought I had written a review of this gallery years ago. It's been around forever and whenever I…read morevisit Old Montreal (which is at least once a year, in the summertime), I browse the artworks in this beautiful venue, smack dab in the heart of the old port area, on Rue St. Paul. I've visited this gallery ever since I was 13 or so. It's one of the 3 or 4 places I always check out in Old Montreal. Art is so subjective, but without fail, I always find pieces I love in this gallery. They always carry contemporary pieces (paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations), most by up-and-coming artists, many local. I usually spend at least 30 minutes here. It's like visiting a museum: a real feast for the eyes (and soul). The staff always let you browse in peace (much appreciated!). I highly recommend this place.

The closest subways are St. Laurent (green) and Sherbrooke (orange) Street parking is available but metered, so if you plan to hang around, best to use transit. The place: Station 16 is a Montreal institution as far as I'm concerned. These guys dedicate most of the art that's on display, to local artists like Stikki Peaches, 123 Klan, Mister X-Ray etc. In addition, they also have regular exhibits that are often theme-based (i.e. Stenciled, which is currently on) so this allows you to discover other art genres and artists that are not necessarily local. You can find some prints by international artists like D*Face and Rone, among others. Service: N/A - you walk in and do your thing. The staff don't have any issues with you taking photos either. Some days seem friendlier than others. Price point: No charge to get in but if you want to buy any of the art, get ready to take out your wallet because it's not cheap! Miscellaneous: You can usually pop by here during Mural festival and get a map of the previous years' murals + those that will be going up during the current year.

Usine 106U is an art gallery right off of Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montreal. Before reading…read morefurther, please note that I am pretty far from an art aficionado, so I'll keep this brief. As you approach the gallery you'll notice rather quickly the general flavour of art that is showcased at 106U. Much of it is experimental, pushes social norms, and is unashamedly bold. That being said, if you're looking for a piece that you can show your grandmother, you could also find a handful of more "tame" pieces scattered about. The gallery hosts the works of several artists, and the pieces are rotated weekly, currently on Thursdays afternoons around 17:00 when some of the artists may come in. Even if you don't plan on buying anything, (because the pieces aren't particularly cheap), drop by 106U for a little bit of out-of-the-box art culture.

Zone Orange is a charming art gallery (galerie d'art) and cafe on a side street off of Old…read moreMontreal. It isn't terribly large, but it's clean, colorful, with a ton of random art on display and for sale. I had a conversation with friendly Dominic Morin, the manager/owner (he's listed as "le directeur" on his business card - I'm unsure how that directly translates). I told him I was sad there wasn't any food[1] for purchase, only coffee, and he noted my complaint (now they actually have SORBET in addition to their espresso). He also pointed out a few pieces to me, and mentioned his sister was an artist here; I also checked out these animal plushies (amusing cat and octopus ones) sitting on a huge IKEA shelf. Much of the random art there was graspable stuff - tres cool. Zone Orange is worth a visit.

The most wonderful, arty-farty, curated junk shop curiosity cabinet, I-can't-believe-they-have-that…read moreshop I have ever been in. This is the place you always want to discover on vacation and you never do. It's always a weird awkward gallery that doesn't have anything you want to buy, so you duck out (embarrassed for both yourself, and the shop owner), or else you want something but it costs $500 so you just sigh and leave. No. This place is awesome. I was lured in by the hilarious window display, and stayed to wind my way through stacks of hand silk screened prints ($10-$100), vintage drawings and posters and postcards, a vintage Disneyworld map from back when they made aesthetically pleasing tourist schwag ($15), bowls of plastic fruit (for sale? display only????), vintage viewmaster reels ($5+), and cubbies full of random weird ceramics, souvenir dishes, and other flotsam and jetsam that seems to have washed up on Monastiraki's shores. We spent at least an hour in here perusing the wares before departing with a gorgeous print. The owners were kind and charming.

There is a whole history of poster art tucked into the nooks and crannies of Monastiraki, rareties coming through, art exhibits and friendly parties sorta monthly, and all kinds of good looking and weird antiques and vintage books and memories to be dusted off and appreciated by the right set of hands. The whole place is a living installation - if you're lucky in the summer you walk by and the window is alight with shadow puppets, or a kids crafty birthday party - and any day you come there's something in there to discover.
