Summer Festival is a bit like Christmas in July for Québec City. From the 9th to the 19th, over a hundred artists take over the city, from Limp Bizkit to Gwen Stefani to Patrick Watson. Something for every taste, much like the walls of our galleries.

So we decided to have a little fun with it: Marie-Hélène, our Design and Social Media manager, went all in combing through the entire lineup to find the perfect artistic match for every artist bringing Québec City to life these next few days.

July 9

Limp Bizkit - Embrace, 36 x 24 inches by Martin Laliberté

What could be better than a work combining classical religious art and street art for a band that has been able to handle with a master hand metal and rap throughout its career.

Gab Bouchard - George, 51 x 35 inches by Sarah Hillock

In his latest album Encore Encore, the singer-songwriter from St-Prime tells of his departure from the city to return home. In honor of the dairy farms in his neck of the woods, we thought a calf was a good illustration of this new turning point in his career.

Lou-Adriane Cassidy - Tangled, 12 x 12 inches by Gwendolyn Brown

"J'prends l'oreiller dans mes bras. T'es encore là, t'es encore là..." - Ça va ça va (2019)

The still lifes of Gwendolyn Brown blend perfectly with the soft voice of Lou-Adriane Cassidy; a dreamy air and a touch of comforting nostalgia for the eyes and ears.

July 10

bbno$ - YOLO Pink Big White Heart, 26.75 x 12 x 10 inches by Sandro, G.

The Gen Z Eminem became known online thanks to his world full of offbeat humor. We therefore believe that he would appreciate the creations of Sandro, G.; an Italian artist who designs pop art sculptures as colorful as his personality.

The Lumineers - Rêve de bonheur, 48x 48 inches by Martin Beaupré 

The discography of The Lumineers offers a contemplative and soothing atmosphere, like the paintings of Martin Beaupré. 

Mike Clay - Green chair: Painting of woman with orange dress, 30 x 24 inches by Jae Dougall

As a tribute to the first single of his solo career, Camion de fruit (2025), we believe that the singer of Clay and Friends would appreciate Jae Dougall’s work and its summer atmosphere.

July 11

Luis Fonsi - Whispering Shades, 40 x 48 inches by Najib Chakchem

It is easy to imagine the muses of Chakchem swaying on the discography of Luis Fonsi; the sides of their dresses twirling with the rhythm of the music. The perfect layout. 

July 12

Michael Bublé - Santa Claus Gift Small White, 6.5 x 3 x 3.25 inches by Sandro, G.

Michael Bublé’s Christmas album is so iconic, we had no choice but to pay tribute with one of Sandro’s funny Santa Claus. The magic of Christmas in summer!

Les Louanges - Petite fanfare, 24 x 30 inches by Louis Hughes

"Alouette, gentille alouette. Alouette, je te plumerai !" - Alouette, tu te fais plumer ! (2026)

In the absence of canvases featuring larks, Louis Hughes’s white geese are a subtle wink to the third album of the singer-songwriter from Lévis; the work of both artists calling for a return to their roots.

July 13

Souldia - Simply Bart, 24 x 60 inches by Mélanie Simard

For the carte blanche of Souldia, iconic personality of hip-hop in Quebec, on the big stage, we opted for a classic styrene ticket by Mélanie Simard. 

Koriass et Fouki - Shape of My Heart (Série/Series), 48 x 48 inches by Boutet

To highlight the passage of two imposing figures of Quebec rap on the Plains of Abraham, we have chosen a work that reflects the playful energy that results from each of their collaborations. 

July 14

Patrick Watson - Rêver, 48 x 48 inches by Gerda Marschall

The still lifes of Gerda Marschall and the discography of Patrick Watson both emit a beauty that is both delicate and raw. We can’t dream better!

Klô Pelgag - Premier sur la montagne, 48 x 48 inches by Pierre Bouchard

"Le Roi de la montagne a fait une chute fatale" - Le Roi de la Montagne (2026)

The title of the work by Pierre Bouchard is a funny wink to the title of the singer-songwriter’s last single, while the color palette is reminiscent of that of the album L'étoile thoracique; the one that propelled Klô Pelgag onto the Quebec scene. 

July 15

Kesha - Amour sous les tropiques, 16 x 16 inches by Cynthia Coulombe Bégin

If Kesha’s best hits were canvases, they would undoubtedly be the hearts of Cynthia Coulombe Bégin; everyone exudes a pop energy that knows how to delight the crowds.

July 16

Gwen Stefani - Too Glam For Water!, 40 x 40 inches by Colette Falardeau

The very feminine visual universe of Colette Falardeau blends perfectly with that of Gwen Stefani. With his hits like Rich Girl, The Sweet Escape and Hollaback Girl, we could not help but introduce her to the works of Falardeau. 

Dead Obies - Vandale de Luxe - Dead Zone$, 74 x 50 inches by Zïlon

To mark the return on stage of the Montreal band, what could be better than a work by an icon of Montreal street art?

July 17

Muse - Et si... , 60 x 40 inches by Luc Tessier

As for the British band Muse, we have chosen a work whose visual sound matches their discography: energizing and colorful.

July 18

Martin Garrix - Expression 2, 38 x 38 inches by FLOW

FLOW and Martin Garrix are made to go hand in hand; their repertoires both contain an undeniable electrifying energy that knows how to inspire the public.

Ariane Roy - Emery, 40 x 40 inches by Josée Forest

To pay tribute to the very canine universe of his most recent album, Dogue, we found the most beautiful canid in our collection: Emery by Josée Forest.

Malaimé Soleil - Sous un soleil torride, 18 x 18 inches by Lynn Garceau

For their appearance at the FEQ, we wanted to give a little nod to one of the singles from their first album, Cactus. Lynn Garceau therefore presented herself as an assured choice.

July 19

Jelly Roll - Deer urbain, 31 x 16 x 9 inches by Joseph Pierre Bertrand

From the fusion of natural elements and street art in the work of Joseph Pierre Bertrand results a universe in the image of contemporary country of which Jelly Roll is a rising figure.

Pierre Lapointe - Enfance intersidérale, 12 x 12 inches by Maryline Lemaitre

In preparation for the tribute concert to the artist’s two iconic albums in collaboration with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, we have selected a work by Maryline Lemaitre, an artist whose surrealist aesthetic is reminiscent of that of Lapointe.
