COLLECTIVE MOSAIC (Public Square, Shefford Street)

At the Public Square on Shefford Street, admire an impressive mosaic created in partnership with artist Isabelle Marissal and the Tess’Elles collective, a group of volunteer citizens. People of all ages, young and old, also took part in this unifying project. Its evolution is traced through a photography exhibit by Florence Laberge, highlighting each stage of the creation process and the depth of community involvement.

PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT (John-Savage Park)

In the charming park next to St-John Cemetery, the outdoor exhibition structure showcases artworks whose themes are closely tied to the local landscape and identity. The current exhibition, Regards croisés sur la nature , brings together photographs by two artists: Grégory Picard from Shefford and Vladislav Tumir from Bromont. With its many benches and gazebo, it’s easy to linger and enjoy the view of the Espace culturel St. John and the mountain. Just nearby, in the Garden of Words, chalkboards are available for you to write and draw, inspired by the moment. Stop by from time to time to discover what’s new: in 2026, two to three more exhibitions will be presented.

MURAL (Germain Désourdy Campus Arena)

Step into a unique artistic scene where skating and hockey come to life! On the exterior wall of the Germain Désourdy Campus arena, you’ll find a vibrant mural celebrating the world of ice sports. This colourful artwork, with pastel tones and vintage accents, was created for Bromont’s 60th anniversary in 2024 by a collective of three Bromont artists: Zoé Boivin, Christine Battuz, and Marc Serre. Artist Zoé Boivin also created a mural inside the Pauline Quinlan Library.
