Open-air performance space, Place Publique, offers an outdoor artistic program on the Place du Sable-Gris every year, in front of the Fonderie Darling buildings. Site-specific artworks, artistic performances and a patio transform the space into a playground for artists and a meeting place for all, in a festive atmosphere.
Fonderie Darling would like to thank ODEA Montreal for its financial support of the annual programming on Place Publique.
