Galerie Mission Old Brewery
The cafeteria in the Webster Pavilion is home to the Galerie Mission Old Brewery.
More than a cafeteria
The cafeteria walls are decorated with original artwork that is admired by Old Brewery Mission clients, staff and volunteers.
The Galerie Mission Old Brewery, previously called Galerie Carlos, is the brainchild of Carlos Anglarill. A longtime counsellor at the Old Brewery Mission, he took on the role of curator of our art gallery when it opened in 2009. The gallery was named in his honour in 2016 when it moved into the cafeteria.
The Galerie is part of an approach aimed at offering dignity and respect to the spaces frequented by people experiencing homelessness.
Marie-Josée Gélinas
Montreal-based Marie-José Gélinas is a self-taught artist. Her abstract paintings are interpretations of interior and exterior landscapes.
As an intensely curious person and lifelong diarist, the feelings she experiences in the natural world are the common thread running through her creative output, both on the page and on canvas.
Wendy A. Thomas
Wendy A. Thomas lives and works in Montreal. She holds a BA. (Honours, Visual Arts) and an MA in Interdisciplinary Studies from York University, Toronto.
She has studied for several years at the Visual Arts Centre, in Westmount, and is a professional member of the Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels du Québec (RAAV).
Past exhibitions
Every year, half a dozen artists show their work at Galerie Mission Old Brewery, where it is enjoyed by staff and clients alike.
