Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. As you stroll around Old Québec, you'll find that the city has much to offer in the way of artwork and crafts, most of it on sale in galleries and boutiques. However, when you find this neat little alley, running from Rue Ste-Anne to Rue Buade, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time 100 years. During the warmer months, painters and craftspeople showcase and peddle their work in an environment that is charmingly unique. Most of the artwork depicts local street scenes. Even if you don't buy anything, you'll find yourself mysteriously drawn to the alley again and again. |

Rue du Trésor, Québec
|
|
Distance:
~136 m * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. A uniquely Québec attraction, Rue du Trésor is a narrow alley between the Holy Trinity Anglican Cathedral and the Notre-Dame Basilica where local artists set up each morning, attracting tourists searching for one-of-a-kind souvenirs and art lovers looking for a masterpiece. It all started in the 1960s, when two young artists decided to hang up their work and sell directly to the public, sidestepping the whole gallery process. The idea caught on and by the 1970s the alley was packed with artists and art. During the 80s, the artists formed a non-profit organization to regulate their activities and ensure the high quality of work, so you won't find any velvet Elvises! |

Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. Since 1993, the Beauchamp family has had the distinction of being among Québec's most well respected purveyors of new artwork. Their exclusive Place Royale gallery contains well-lit display areas where you'll find acrylics by Algerian Abdullah Khaled and Italian Jose Salvagio, pastels by Josée Lord, and oils by Frenchman James Gaubert and Québecois Aline Brochu. A word of advice, Marc and Claudette Beauchamp did not open this gallery so casual tourists would have a place to buy postcards and run-of-the-mill prints of Old Québec; this gallery boasts world-class original art, most of it ranging from $1000 to $1500. Across the street is the sister gallery, Galerie d'art Bel Art (418-694-1144), also maintained by the Beauchamps. |
