The MAM Fine Crafts Collective presented a LIVE FINE CRAFTS MIXED-MEDIA HAPPENING at the Montreal HighLights Festival ALL-NIGHTER, from 11pm Saturday March 3 to 5am Sunday March 4, 2007 in the Foyer Jean-Gascon of Théâtre Maisonneuve at the Place des Arts (enter via Place des Arts, métro-level) : more than 1500 came to see the spontaneous creation of hybrid light-based artworks, combining ceramics, textiles, jewellery, woodworking, leatherwork, glass...

An exhibition of fine crafts artworks was also presented, including a sneak preview work from CONTAMINATIONS (at the Canadian Guild of Crafts, March 8 to 17, 2007). A fine-crafts-info zone explained a little about each fine craft our collective represents and, in the performance zone, was a series of shows by Montreal performers: great music by Tropik d-frost and Share ... and a dynamic percussive dance performance by local troupe Bourask. It was a great time; thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us — good Night(er)!
