Set in a walk-up apartment in Montreal’s Village, Espace Maurice is part exhibition space, part living archive. Founded in 2021 by artist and curator Marie Ségolène C. Brault, the gallery is named after her grandfather, Maurice Brault—a jeweller, artist, and art therapist whose influence threads through its ethos. With a focus on emerging, self-taught, and often transnational voices, the programming blends local studio practices with satellite projects that span from Youngstown, Ohio, to the Lower East Side. Exhibitions here don’t just hang on walls—they’re often accompanied by zines, books, and conversations that linger longer than the show itself. Maurice doesn’t mimic the white cube; it repurposes domestic space as a site for intimacy and experimentation. From chapbooks to residencies, what’s on offer is less a fixed roster than an evolving ecosystem. For visitors, it’s open Saturdays or by appointment—ring the bell, step inside, and expect something personal.
