Let’s celebrate World Art Day with artists from the Art Volt Collection. For them, art goes beyond a passion or a practice — it’s a way to see, understand, and communicate the world. L’art, c’est plus qu’une passion. C’est une façon de voir et de communiquer le monde. Découvrez ces trois artistes de la Collection Art Volte à l’occasion de la Journée Mondiale de l’Art. Zahra Hosseini @zarahoseini – part of the collection since 2025 "My body prints began as an attempt to reclaim a body numbed by the weight of the ableist gaze. Over time, I came to see disability not only as something art heals, but as something that shapes and advances my practice. Disability now challenges established ideas about art-making and those who create it, acting as a vital force that expands what art can be." 📸 Photo by Arash Fatehi Emily Spooner @em_spooner – part of the collection since 2025 "I am primarily a painter whose work explores memory, storytelling, and the intuitive emergence of imagery. My visual language draws on the carnivalesque and the whimsical, evoking a sense of wonder and moments of quiet strangeness." Alejandra Zamudio @peluzator – entered the Art Volt Collection in 2022 "Through drawing I have found the contours of secrets and remembered the fugitive details of the stories and angels that have haunted me since childhood. I draw as a commitment to life, as a means of paying attention to the visible and invisible world." 📸 Portrait by Clara Lacasse Check out the Collection through link in bio. @art_volt_ @concordiauniversity #WorldArtDay #JournéeMondialeDeLArt #FacultyOfFineArts #WomeninArt

Big news! 🥂 Betty Pomerleau is now represented by Pangée @pangee.pangee We’re sad to see her leave the Art Volt Collection, but supporting artists at pivotal moments in their careers is at the heart of what we do. It’s exciting to see her practice continue to grow, and we’re proud to have been part of her journey. We wish her all the best in this new chapter!
