The C.O.A. Contemporary Art Gallery opened its doors in Montreal in May 2014. While the gallery strives to discover new talents, it’s also committed to exhibiting the work of artists with intellectual and physical disabilities known as “outsiders.” The gallery is home to a roster of both Canadian and international artists, playing on established conventions and the perception they can bring to them. What they all have in common: an unusual creation, hence the name of the gallery: “Créateurs d’Œuvres Atypiques” (creators of atypical works).
