Throughout his career, he has offered a variety of courses in visual arts at UQAT, where he has greatly contributed to the development of programs of that field, an heritage whose impact is still felt to this day: \u201cThose programs have been offered everywhere on the territory and that is what is amazing. It was not exclusive to Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d\u2019Or, they were also offered in La Sarre, Ville-Marie, Amos, Senneterre, every city ended up offering one of the programs.\u201d Today, this explains in part the impressive number of visual artists in the region, proportionally to its population, a dynamic ecosystem that convinces creators from everywhere to come live here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3285fd1f28c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/abitibi-temiscamingue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Credit-photo-Donald-Trepanier-3-768x513-1-450x301.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14942\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos: Donald T\u00e9panier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3285fd1fa3c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/abitibi-temiscamingue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Credit-photo-Donald-Trepanier-4-768x513-1-450x301.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14943\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos: Donald T\u00e9panier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Believing in local art<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea for the gallery was born as he was nearing retirement: \u201cI am a bit hyperactive, I was thinking \u2018What will I do? I\u2019ll die!\u2019 I had always paired together my personal practice, teaching, all of that. I thought: \u2018I won\u2019t spend all my days in the workshop, I\u2019ll go crazy!\u2019 Thus the idea for the gallery was born: \u2018Everything was connected. I told myself, those young people, I trained them in some way, now I will try to promote them.\u2019\u201d Mr. Lamothe thus ended up representing 18 artists from Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue selected according to the quality, interest, and originality of their work, and their resolutely modern approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, he has been pursuing with passion and conviction the objective of including their works in a variety of collections, whether private or corporative, or that of museums. Convinced of the value of the work of local artists, Mr. Lamothe tries through different means to make them known in the big cities while waiting to obtain the notoriety necessary to participate in the various fairs where major art collectors mainly buy. He does it, among others, through pop-up events outside of the region. This is, however, no easy task: \u201cIn the fairs, you can always see where the works were created; it\u2019s always Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, but never smaller cities. Contemporary art happens in large part in major cities. Being from a small region, having a gallery in Rouyn-Noranda, seems beyond them, it simply isn\u2019t possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3285fd20355&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/abitibi-temiscamingue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Credit-photo-Donald-Trepanier-5-768x513-1-450x301.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14944\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Donal Tr\u00e9panier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Lamothe is the first to admit that you have to be a bit crazy to begin such a project in the middle of such a small population pool, but observes that slowly but surely, he manages to raise the awareness of the field\u2019s different players regarding the professional character of the creators he promotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transmitting a passion<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br> <\/strong>A teacher at heart, Mr. Lamothe also continues to educate the curious visitors who walk through the door of 131, 8<sup>e<\/sup> rue. \u201cThe people who enter here are greeted and guided if they so wish.
