The centre is named in honor of Louise Carrier, a celebrated Quebec artist whose legacy continues to influence regional visual arts. Today, the space hosts rotating exhibitions featuring:

• Contemporary works from Quebec and Canadian artists
• Emerging talents alongside established professionals

Free to the public, the Centre is both accessible and intimate. Visitors are encouraged to take their time, ask questions, and even meet some of the exhibiting artists during vernissages and special events. For locals, it’s a cherished community space. For travelers, it’s an unexpected cultural gem.
