Our Lady of Light Atelier (olla) is a non-profit initiative housed in a gently cared-for former church that has become an inclusive rural gathering place in Mulgrave-et-Derry. Once a place of worship, it continues to evolve as a space for art, conversation, reflection, and community—honouring its past while making space for new stories.

This season’s highlights include:

• Voicewell — a former confessional transformed into a listening space featuring a conversation with artist Paul Villinski, whose work explores transformation, renewal, and the unexpected beauty found in discarded materials.

• Canada’s only Art-o-mat® — Don’t Go ‘Round Artless!
($7 CAD per artwork)

• Natural Light — a living sound installation where the plants featured in this summer’s Rural Mural Project create music in real time.

• Guest artist exhibition by Sasha French (Birdgirl Arts), celebrating this summer’s Rural Mural Project and the creativity of our community.

• A micro exhibition marking the 25th anniversary of the Municipality of Mulgrave-et-Derry, celebrating local history and community.

Open most Saturdays | 1:00–4:00 PM
6548 Route 315, Mulgrave-et-Derry, QC

Closed August 15 during the Mulgrave & Derry Historical Society’s 25th Anniversary celebration.
