Ephemeral Elegance – The Art of Metamorphosis

21 February to 27 September 2026

A project by Professor Caroline Laberge and the graduating students of the Visual Arts Studies program at the Jonquière Visual Arts Workshops

Welcome to this remarkable exhibition where you can discover five creations, the result of an artistic and technical challenge undertaken by the graduating students. These monumental dresses are not simply garments: they are the product of an immersion in materials and structures, illustrating the students’ versatility and boldness. A remarkable feat achieved through teamwork and within a limited timeframe.

The Visual Arts Studies program, from which the “Paper Dresses” project originates, is powered by the expertise of the Visual Arts Workshops. This institution operates as a complete creative ecosystem where art becomes a driving force for both personal and collective development. To fully grasp the significance of the work presented here, it is essential to understand that this organization’s influence extends through several interdependent missions that enrich the students’ experience.
