Gallery tips for Shawinigan

How the regulars do Shawinigan's galleries:

• Check accessibility at Galerie D Art & Atelier De Aapcm. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.
• Photography rules vary. Some galleries welcome photos, others forbid them. Look for the sign at the door rather than guessing.
• Ask the gallerist. They know the work, the artists, and what's coming next. Most are delighted when someone asks a real question.
• Read the wall text. It's short and it's there to help. Even the cryptic ones give you a way into the work.

If you run one of the 1 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
