Opening closets for reasons other than sexuality, this festival aims to bring Montrealers closer to their neighbours and community by giving individuals an opportunity to share their hidden talents and interests with others. In this consumer and fame driven era, this is an event that allows us to glimpse into the universes of those who are solely motivated by passion.
The festival runs from May 4th to May 24th 2008 at various venues on St. Laurent Boulevard.
ART EXHIBITS: May 5th-13th at Coop St. Laurent, 4665 St. Laurent, all day, and, across the street, at Sala Rossa, 4848 St. Laurent, from 1:00-4:00 pm. The vernissages are May 4th beginning at 4:00pm at the Coop and beginning at 6:00pm at the Sala Rossa. Admission to all exhibits is free.
