The best galleries in Montreal
1. PFOAC
Short for Pierre-François Ouellette Art Contemporain, this commercial gallery on Rachel Street near La Fontaine Park is active at art fairs all over the world. It's a modestly sized space with top-notch curation.
POAC's artists' list is museum-level in quality, and in fact has helped feed many Canadian museums' collections with works by the likes of Adad Hannah, Dil Hilderbrand, Karilee Fuglem and August Clintberg.
PFOAC's specialty is spotting art that combines aesthetic appeal with thought-provoking depth. - Isa Tousignant
