About Le Labo Créatif (the Creative Lab)

Who are we?

The Creative Lab is more than just an art club; it’s a safe and supportive space where exploration takes precedence over the final result. Our core consists of three founding members: Émilie Leblanc Kromberg, Louise Hardy, and Véronique Trudel.

The concept is simple yet powerful: each month, a new theme is introduced (such as “movement,” “in a whisper,” “grief,” “vertigo,” “imaginary friend,” or “firefly”). Each member then creates a work inspired by that theme, with complete freedom of medium. Poetry, temporary installations, sewing, song, circus, or dance—all are welcome. Whether finished or in progress, each piece is presented at the next meeting, followed by a discussion. The next theme is chosen, and the cycle continues!

While the theme serves as the starting point, the meetings often have a therapeutic dimension. We address deep and sometimes moving subjects, using creativity as a tool for resilience and connection.

Over the years, the Creative Lab has nurtured the creativity of its members far beyond our private gatherings, leading us to participate in the Polka Dot Dragon Festival on three occasions. Today, we are proud to share with the public the results of years of research, experimentation, and sharing.
