In collaboration with La Face Cachée de la Pomme, the MAM Fine Crafts Collective is proud to present pétard ! ("fire-cracker") an outdoor fine crafts exhibition for the 12th edition of the Journées de la culture.

Set in a dynamic atmosphere, this outdoor exhibition will run from September 26 until October 20, 2008 at the La Face Cachée de la Pomme cidery in Hemmingford in the Montérégie, located 45 minutes south of Montréal, at 617, Route 202 Hemmingford (Qc) J0L 1H0 ; 450-247-2899, ext. 228. Please click here for a map.

From September 26 to 28, for the Journées de la culture weekend, artists will be on the grounds, to speak with visitors and share their creative passion. In addition to pétard !, participants can visit the cidery's grounds, the site will be laid out to welcome the whole family, and grown-ups will be invited to have a first taste of the cider Dégel.

La Face Cachée's participation in and promotion of Québecois cultural activities is perfectly in line with the nature of the cidery's products: authentic and inspired! MAM thanks La Face Cachée, as well as the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) and the Conférence régionale des élus (CRÉ) de Montréal for their valued collaboration, as well as the participating artists: Marianne Chevalier; Luc Delavigne; Alicia Legault-Verdier; Éloïse Marchand-Duchesneau; Janelle Mellamphy; Julie-Soleil Nadeau; Karine Rodrigue; Isabelle Sentenne; and the MAM Collective.
