A few days ago, Joëlle B. Le Blanc, a young 32-year old artist, was awarded the jury’s first prize in the “Mountain, River and Village” (Montagne, rivière et village) exhibition-competition which brought together no less than 250 artists from across Quebec to Saint-Hilaire.
7,000 visitors were able to admire paintings and works from exhibiting artists and Joëlle, who graduated with a DEC in Arts at the Édouard-Monpetit College in Longueuil, was awarded her prize along with a $1,200 purse thanks to Fusion, a black and white ink work which won over the competition’s judges.
