Expo 67/17 is inspired by Montreal's 375th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Expo 67, the 1967 International and Universal Exposition. What was SalonEsque back in 2015 returns in 2017 in the spirit of Expo 67, an international gathering which left an indelible mark on the city of Montréal. MAI’s rendition, Expo 67/17 is a community exchange initiative wherein the gallery walls will be covered from floor to ceiling. The exhibition embraces major themes put forth by the orignal fair – humankind as the creator, the explorer, the producer, the provider, and the community.
