From June 5 through 8, owners of the Camping Aux bons plaisirs fugaces (Fine Fleeting Fancies Campground) will be inaugurating their new site located in the park with no name in the Plateau Mont-Royal borough. Urban camping? Not quite. Owners will assign each project a creative site, in which thirteen artists will explore and expand the possibilities of the tent and other common camping accessories as artistic mediums.
The Campground has various participative activities in store for this community get-together/festive event taking place under the Van Horne/Rosemont overpass such as: walks, collective meals, silk-screen printing, screenings, music as well as the creation of a starry night sky… The grounds will be open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Artists will be onsite for four consecutive days, working on and transforming their creative sites so that they evolve throughout the event. Why not seize this opportunity to meet and talk with them over a few roasted marshmallows?
