Our last story ask the question: what is laughter and why do we laugh? Answers with humorists André Sauvé,…

[...]Buying Canadian art, a smart fiscal move
Did you know that supporting the arts could be fiscally advantageous? The Quebec and Canadian governments have recognized the importance of encouraging the visual arts and its creators by implementing tax incentives intended to promote the purchase of original Canadian artwork.

[...]Exhibition review in the Montreal Gazette
I always try to get the media’s attention when my work is exhibited. Little space is allocated to visual arts in newspapers, even less when artists aren’t well known.
