Clorid’Art Symposium Comes Back for Its Fifth Year in 2026

The team behind Clorid’Art just announced the symposium’s fifth edition will happen in Cloridorme, right in the l’Estran part of Gaspésie, on July 31, August 1, and 2, 2026. Everything takes place in the village school gym, a spot where the landscape, the people, and the art all seem to click. This year, the honorary president is Philippe Roy, an artist who grew up in Cloridorme.

It’s the first time they’ve picked someone who’s already taken part in three earlier editions. “We wanted to thank Philippe for everything he’s brought to the event,” says Marc-Alain Marticotte, one of the founders, “and also celebrate his 80th birthday in 2026.”

Artists from any discipline and any region had until June 14 to send in their applications. They were asked to talk about their own way of working and to let the place, its rhythm, its people, guide them.
The committee will reveal the chosen artists in early July. Last year, about twenty creators showed their work at Clorid’Art, and more than 125 visitors stopped by.
