Festival des arts de ruelle (FAR)

Founded in 2017 by Léa Philippe, the Festival des arts de ruelle (Alley Arts Festival) presents a vibrant lineup of short professional artistic performances spanning a wide range of disciplines, all delivered in a warm and high-energy atmosphere. FAR’s mission is to decentralize access to the arts by transforming Montréal’s alleyways into lively cultural spaces that bring together people from all walks of life. By fostering encounters and exchanges in the heart of local neighbourhoods, the festival creates opportunities for communities to gather in a festive and welcoming setting while discovering the richness and diversity of street arts.
