New artist series coming to Bell Centre this season

MONTREAL – Art will imitate life during every Saturday night game at the Bell Centre for the 2023-24 campaign.

New this season, the Artist Series presented by Loto-Québec will give fans a chance to watch a local artist create a one-of-a-kind painting in real-time, inspired by the matchup of the night.

With a dozen Saturday night home games on the docket, a talented roster of 12 artists will put their spin on each of those intense rivalry matchups featured on the ice at the M2 Marche Montreal Loto-Québec.

Here’s a look at the games and artists below:

Each artist boasts a distinct style that represents Montreal’s creative scene. While fans will enjoy watching their beloved Canadiens on the ice, they will also be able to take in another performance off the ice with a unique view into each artist’s creative process as they work to complete their paintings over the course of the evening starting at 5:30 p.m. ET.

What’s more, each portrait can be won via an online contest that will begin on October 14 and will remain open for the entire season. Winners will be selected at the end of the campaign.

Keep an eye on the Canadiens’ contests for more information.
