Textile Arts Discovery Bus Tour
Circuit Decouvert Arts Textiles

On Saturday, September 25th, Galerie Montcalm and the Ville de Gatineau organized a bus tour that visited the textile arts exhibitions organized by Moon Rain Centre in collaboration with the international textile arts event in the Outaouais, “When Thirteen Moons Entwine”.
The bus started in the morning at Galerie Montcalm in Gatineau after visiting the 9th International Triennale of Mini-textiles from Angers, France.  It then visited Espace Pierre Debain in Aylmer to see the exhibition Fibres Boreales, then drove to Moon Rain Centre to see the outdoor textile arts installations in situ and the studio exhibition, The Thirteen Moons. A gourmet picnic lunch was prepared by chef Chris Hudson, that bus tour participants and artists enjoyed at the waterfall along the scenic walking path at Moon Rain Centre.
On the drive home to Gatineau, the bus stopped to visit the international tapestry exhibit, Fils Lumineux at the Val-Des-Monts municipal hall.
It was a very enjoyable day for the bus tour participants. The word most frequently spoken was “inspirational”.
