Over two days, explore an authentic selection that highlights the talent within our community.
A dozen kiosks will take over the reception area and the PHI 407 Salon, transformed for the occasion into a warm, welcoming space. Admission is free and open to everyone.
Aiming to become an annual tradition, PHI’s Holiday Pop-up celebrates local creativity and encourages meaningful encounters between creators and audiences. A moment to meet, explore, and be inspired by the talent within our community.

Artist Biographies
Artemisia is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal who shares her love for nature and ancestral artistic traditions. She creates objects inspired by historical craft practices such as chainmail, lace-making, crochet, and embroidery. Throughout the year, she gathers seasonal fruits and preserves them to crystallize their fleeting beauty into decorative pieces or jewelry. She especially enjoys creating custom works, ensuring each piece is as unique as the person who owns it.
Brigitte is a Cambodian-Canadian artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. Her practice is rooted in self-introspection, often expressed through slow and repetitive gestures. These repeated motions create a meditative space—a peaceful void that invites reflection, play, and experimentation, allowing the material to breathe and evolve.
Julia Gouëllo is a French-Canadian artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. She holds a DEC in Visual Arts from Cégep du Vieux-Montréal and is currently pursuing a BFA in Art History at Concordia University. After experimenting with photography, screen printing, and painting, she has recently developed a growing passion for pottery. Through a self-taught, exploratory approach, she experiments with the medium’s many possibilities while integrating her signature elements: bright colours and inspirations drawn from daily life.
Marguerite is an amateur baker and graphic designer whose creations are as delightful for the eyes as they are for the taste buds. Her playful and imaginative style appeals to both children and adults. Having grown up baking alongside her grandmother, she has spent years bringing sweet comfort to the people around her.
Nomidala is a queer, neurodivergent Québéco-Mexican artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. They completed a BFA in Visual Arts at UQAM in 2023. Their work has been shown in several group exhibitions, including Ensemble pour toutes (2021), Vastes Clos (2023), and most recently détour-s queer: 3e édition (2025) at La Charpente des fauves. Their multidisciplinary practice explores identity as a shifting territory, creating space where imagination becomes a tool to reinvent bodies, borders, and ways of existing. They use transformation and satirical anthropomorphism to question norms and propose bodies and existences that resist fixed categories.
Inès’s art centers nature as it expands into new, hybrid forms—through chimeric creatures, intertwined roots, and saturated bursts of color. Her practice builds a psychedelic utopia that invites viewers to imagine alternate ecosystems. Using fluid mediums guided by the movement of her body—oil paint and aerosol—her pieces evoke the feeling of dancing in a forest or swimming through the ocean.
Victor Chose is a multidisciplinary artist and designer specializing in ceramics. His work explores themes such as anthropomorphism and biomorphism. He creates playful and imaginative pieces marked by subtle, distinctive humor—hallmarks of his artistic identity.
As a photographer and writer, Yutong explores informal archival practices, translation, and the documentation of environmental history. Their work follows the emotional force of forgetting and distorted memory through language, drawing from family stories, popular mythologies, and the unstable mountainous geographies that shape the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
Eszter is a Hungarian mixed-media artist whose work explores colour, light, and the beauty of the everyday. She aims to highlight the extraordinary within the mundane, bringing new perspective to simple things. Through drawing, textile work, and jewelry, she hopes to make everyday life feel a little more special.
