The Îles de la Madeleine are brim with creative minds, and their ever-growing numbers make us wonder - how could so small a land give birth to such a wide variety of artists and artisans, and attract so many others?
Bring the question directly to the artists, and you'll get a breadth of answers. You'll hear how the life on the Islands stirs up this awe-inspiring force. We're blessed every day with nature's masterpieces, from the constant presence of the sea, with her moods and her salty notes, to the many dances and reflections of the light bathing the scenery with raw, effervescent colours. For many of the makers born here, creativity grew in proportion to the vastness of their childhood playground - they know how wide-open spaces can favour the bold, the expressive, the artist.
