Florence Viau

Florence Viau (1998) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, where she is currently pursuing a master’s degree in sculpture at Concordia University (2026) with the support of the Dave Mcgary Memorial Award in Fine Arts. In 2021, she earned a bachelor’s degree in visual and media arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal, awarded with a McAbbie Foundation grant for excellence in sculpture. Her work has been shown in various group exhibitions, including at the Musée d’art contemporain des Laurentides, Projet Casa, Duran|Mashaal gallery, Le Livart, ARTCH and Place des Arts, as well as in artist-run centres such as Centre CLARK, Arprim, Circa, Plein Sud, and l’Écart (forthcoming). Her work is in the collections of the City of Longueuil and the Musée Pointe-à-Callière, among others.

Florence’s residency is part of Plein solo, a project initiated by artch. She will use this research period to focus on preparing a first solo exhibition at the Musée du Bas-Saint-Laurent.

Plein solo highlights six emerging Quebec artists in visual art through a series of individual exhibitions. This project is supported by artch – art contemporain émergent.

Plein solo is produced thanks to the financial support of the gouvernement du Québec.
