_
Art is in its Leaves is a celebration of art and nature at La Montagnarde, our artist residency, located in the heart of the Laurentian forest.
La Montagnarde was founded in 2022 by ATSA, When Art Takes Action. Its ideal location creates a context conducive to the development of multidisciplinary artistic approaches and the production of art in nature. Each artist connects with the Laurentians community through free workshops, presentations, or work observation sessions.
When fall arrives and the leaves create the most beautiful setting, we offer you the opportunity to discover the many artists who have come to create at La Montagnarde through an art-nature trail. Starting at the gates of our residency, this trail allows you to reclaim the immensity of the forest while meeting local and international artists through their works installed in the great outdoors.
This moment of communion with the landscape allows us to reconnect with the beauty of our surroundings, both that of the natural environment and that of the works of art revealed along the way.
La Montagnarde is a place of creation and renewal, and we aim to offer both regulars and novices the opportunity to experience the benefits of forest immersion.
A meeting for you, for art, and to honor nature!
Every year, our program contains surprises, unique performances, and unusual encounters.

TERRITORY RECOGNITION
The entire ATSA team would like to pay tribute to the Anishinabe Algonquin people, traditional guardians of the lands where our artistic residency La Montagnarde is located. We recognize the long-standing sacred bond uniting it to this territory, which remains unceded. We also pay tribute to all the indigenous people who live in Les Pays d’en Haut, or elsewhere in Canada. We recognize traditional knowledge keepers of all ages. We also honor their leaders of yesterday, today and tomorrow, who had undeniable courage.
