NEW EVENT: MOVIE NIGHTS AT THE MUSEUM
As part of the museum’s movie nights, an artistic film will be screened on the third or fourth Friday of every month at 7 p.m., from July 17th through December 18th. After each screening, the assistant director will invite the audience to discuss the art featured in the film. The films will be divided into three categories: children’s films, films for teens, and films for adults.
Admission is $10 (popcorn included). To ensure there’s enough for everyone, please reserve your spot by filling out this survey, calling (819) 843-2099 or emailing info@artnaifmagog.com.

GREAT HAITIAN MASTERS: THE THOMAS MARCANTONIO COLLECTION
In 2015, in collaboration with the Musée international d’art naïf de Magog, the Musée de Charlevoix acquired a significant collection of Haitian naïve art comprising 57 paintings by 30 renowned artists. Donated to the museum by Montrealer Thomas Marcantonio, this collection is believed to have been originally assembled by François Dupré, former owner of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Montreal. Among the artists represented are several of the first painters to have frequented the Centre d’art de Port-au-Prince, which helped bring Haitian naïve art to international attention. These include, among others, Philomé Obin (1892–1986), Rigaud Benoit (1911–1986), Préfète Duffaut (1923–2012), and Wilson Bigaud (1931–2010).
Raphaël Surin, "Adam et Ève" (Adam and Eve), n.d.
As part of this presentation, approximately twenty artworks reflecting Haiti’s cultural richness are presented. This exhibition will continue until December 20th, 2026.
