The West Island Art Studio Circuit (WIASC) is presenting a free café-exhibition titled "Circuits" at Studio 77 in Pointe-Claire Village, Quebec, from September 1 through 30, 2025. The show features works by 11 local artists who participated in the WIASC's inaugural Open Studio Day on August 16, 2025, including pieces such as "Colors of the Autumn" by Preetha Mitran, "Pain Waves" by Sandra Woods, and "Flight Paths" by Donna McGee. A special public vernissage will be held on September 21.
This exhibition matters because it fulfills WIASC's mission to make visual arts more accessible and foster connections between artists and West Island communities outside traditional, sometimes intimidating exhibition spaces. By hosting the show in a cozy, computer-free café, the event lowers barriers to art appreciation and strengthens local cultural engagement, while also building momentum for a larger Open Studio Day planned for 2026.
