A month to create, share and be amazed

Supported by artists, cultural mediators and dedicated librarians, Grand Angle offers a rich, inclusive, accessible program.

With Grand Angle, Saint-Laurent is bringing photography within everyone’s reach. Activities are free, some require reservations and are open to all ages and skill levels in a variety of formats. They are designed for both the curious-minded and experienced enthusiasts.

By launching our Grand Angle event, we want to give Saint-Laurent residents a unique opportunity to discover photography in all its forms as well as learn about it, practise it and share it. This event is a perfect demonstration of our commitment to making culture accessible, inclusive and forward-looking. By showcasing the talent of local artists and creating spaces for exchange and creation, we are strengthening the social and cultural fabric of our community. I am proud to see Saint-Laurent so vibrantly engaged in this first edition, which I hope will become a must for photography enthusiasts and curious minds of all ages.
