Under the leadership of Helen and Jacques Bellefeuille, Galerie de Bellefeuille has become one of Canada’s most recognized independently run art galleries. Founded in 1980 and celebrating forty-five years of acumen, the gallery has grown to a staff of close to thirty.
In 2014, to accommodate the gallery’s unprecedented growth, directors Helen & Jacques Bellefeuille inaugurated Galerie de Bellefeuille II. Located opposite their flagship location on Greene Avenue in Westmount Québec, GdB II offers an additional 5,000 square feet of operational and exhibition space. The 2,500 square feet of exhibition space at GdB II is dedicated to the gallery’s dynamic exhibition schedule of curated solo exhibitions as well as themed group shows.
As the old proverb says, “Third time’s the charm” hence the opening of Galerie de Bellefeuille III in June 2016. This jewel in the crown is located on Montreal’s Golden Square Mile, steps from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and occupying the prestigious storefront at Edifice Port Royal. GdB III features spectacular 25 foot ceilings and 40 foot windows on the historic Sherbrooke Street. As Helen Bellefeuille likes to say, “This is as good as it gets,” referencing the fabulous gallery spaces found in the Chelsea Art District of New York. The additional 5,000 square feet provides the gallery with greater flexibility in programming.
Proudly, Galerie de Bellefeuille opened its fourth location in Toronto in September 2017. It is located in Yorkville Village, a prime location in the heart of Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood. GdB Toronto offers 7,000 square feet of gallery space, bringing the total exhibition space of all galleries to 27,000 square feet.
