Overview

Designed by architects Finley & Spence in 1912, the Belgo has been the home to a forever-rotating roster of galleries and artist studios since the early 1980s. Today it has the largest concentration of contemporary galleries in Canada. Explore the hallways of this initially industrial building, and visit a selection from over 20 contemporary art gallerists alongside dance, architect and artist studios. Your guide - a passionate art insider - will guide you through the history of the galleries and the artists presented with an introduction to the current exhibitions. Develop your taste, define your opinions and expand your knowledge of what you like with a member of the Montreal art community.

An art insider will lead you through a selection of galleries and artist-run centres in the Belgo. You will get an introduction to the Quartier des spectacles where the building is located, to each gallery, the artists and exhibitions.

    I organised this as a birthday gift to my arty daughter, she went with her boyfriend. The company contacted him ahead of the date to pair them with a guide able to cover their interests. It was an outgoing young lady and they had a very good time. Highly recommended for art lovers.

    I took a tour with Alexandre. He was extremely knowledgeable about the galleries in Montreal. He was friendly and took the time to introduce a lot of artists I didn't know were making such great work in this city.... he really opened some doors.
