Presentation in collaboration with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
The Just for Laughs Festival and URBANA Marketing are partnering up with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) to present poster adaptations featuring works from its collection with a novel and humoristic touch.
As the Just for Laughs Festival turns 35 and Montreal celebrates its 375th anniversary, several classical works held by the MMFA - integrating graphic interventions by Emmanuel Laflamme specially conceived for this occasion - will amaze by their festive look and their sense of humor
Youth finalists’ Exhibition from the HAHA-ART Visual Arts Contest benefiting the Children's Wish Foundation

The 5 winning pieces, so those that received the most online votes in each category (0 to 4 years, 5 to 8 years, 9 to 12 years, 13 to 15 years and 16 to 18 years), will be exhibited at Place des Arts from July 15th to 30th.
