Audio Stream: Pierre-Francois Ouellette: One Fair at a Time

Since it opened on Montreal’s rue Ste-Catherine in 2001, Pierre-François Ouellette Art Contemporain has built a national reputation with its contemporary programming of Quebec artists such as Jérôme Fortin, Alexandre Castonguay, Isabelle Hayeur, Adad Hannah and Dil Hildebrand. In recent years, Ouellette has made bold moves to bring his gallery artists to international attention at the art fairs that have blossomed on the European and North American scenes.
