Founded in 2000, Art Matters is often labeled the largest student-run art festival in North America.

An annual Art Matters festival spans 3 weeks and features about 10 exhibitions curated by and for undergraduate students across the city of Tiohtià:ke • Montreal, Canada.

We love new ideas, and frequently collaborate with professional festivals and organizations to create mentorships and future exhibition opportunities.

Art Matters is a non-profit, honorarium-based initiative. Our goal is to get people working together, encouraging students from different artistic practices to exchange meaningful artistic endeavors.
