This new gallery, developed in collaboration with the Centrale des artistes, is the first initiative of its kind in a commercial mall setting, allowing Centre Laval to play a leading role in seeing new art venues developed for the Laval community. This venture enhances overall Centre Laval customer experience while positioning the mall as an ever-more dynamic player in the retail sector.

This unique concept is one of the key elements in the repositioning Centre Laval and Quartier Laval, two Cominar properties which will, in term, present a merged offer and gathering spaces for all.
