Patel Brown opened its Montreal outpost in 2022, joining the Belgo Building’s roster of contemporary art spaces with a curatorial program that foregrounds underrepresented voices. First established in Toronto in 2020, the gallery’s ethos centres on collaboration, identity, and cultural exchange, with a deliberate emphasis on experimentation—both in the works it exhibits and the way it operates. By looking to gaps in representation and interrogating the effects of globalization, Patel Brown builds a space for artists whose practices challenge dominant narratives. Its Montreal location serves as an extension of that vision, amplifying alternative perspectives within a broader, cross-city dialogue.
