Last weekend, the infringement presented it’s first Dumpster Dive Art Drive in an alleyway.  There’s another one coming this week, but for now, here are some images (photos by Donovan King):

Montreal’s seventh-annual infringement Festival kicks off tonight in style with a picnic!  Be at Guilbault and St-Laurent at 7:30pm.  Bring a snack or a meal and if you can, some food to share!  Dress code is 1950s semi-formal.

There may even be some extra celebration afterwards, come and find out! (call 514-699-3378 for more info)

Later tonight, les soirees du Maitre Chanteur kicks off with François Verguet and Roucaute at Bistro Mousse Cafe, 2522 Beaubien Est, two artists playing for pay-what-you-can.
