Under the foundational 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 over forty-five years of acumen, the gallery has grown to a staff of close to thirty.
In 1994, Galerie de Bellefeuille relocated to its current address following the acquisition of the historic Westmount Realty Company building at 1367 Greene Avenue. Recognized as one of the leading contemporary art galleries in Montreal, Galerie de Bellefeuille – Westmount is dedicated to presenting major works by renowned Canadian and international artists. Across several floors, visitors will discover a carefully curated selection of contemporary art, including paintings, sculptures, and photography. Each exhibition is thoughtfully designed to create a dynamic dialogue between the artworks and the architectural space.
Proudly, Galerie de Bellefeuille opened its Toronto location in September 2017. It is located in Yorkville Village, a prime location in the heart of Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood. Surrounded by luxury boutiques, museums, and cultural institutions, Galerie de Bellefeuille Toronto offers an elegant and inspiring environment in which to experience contemporary Canadian and international art.
In August 2025, Galerie de Bellefeuille expanded its Montreal presence with the opening of a new site within the Four Seasons Hotel. Spanning 8,200 square feet of exhibition space, this location offers a refined presentation of contemporary art for collectors, art enthusiasts, and visitors exploring Montreal’s cultural core. This strategic expansion significantly increased the gallery’s exhibition capacity and strengthened its presence in downtown Montreal.
Galerie de Bellefeuille has been named one of the best galleries in the world by Modern Painters for two years running. Throughout forty-five years of operation, the Bellefeuilles have always been keen to highlight internationally acclaimed artists. The gallery is proud to have had many firsts within the Canadian art milieu. Galerie de Bellefeuille held the first Canadian Solo exhibition of American pop artist Jim Dine, the first solo exhibition of acclaimed English sculptor Nicola Hicks, the first solo exhibition of reputed English sculptor Sophie Ryder, the first Quebec exhibition of glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, and the first Canadian Solo exhibition for Mel Bochner. In addition, the gallery offers works by many internationally acclaimed artists such as Mr. Brainwash, Damien Hirst, Patrick Hughes, Jeff Koons, Julian Opie, Robert Polidori, Patrick Rubinstein, Hunt Slonem, and Jane Waterous, to name a few.
Galerie de Bellefeuille offers works in all areas of fine Canadian and international art from paintings and prints to photography and sculpture, spotlighting their artists at international art fairs such as Photo London, Art Toronto, Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, and Art Miami.
Now in its fourth decade of operation and offering over 30,000 square feet of exhibition space, Galerie de Bellefeuille is unparalleled in the contemporary art scene. With two USA locations in New York City and Miami set to open in late 2026, Galerie de Bellefeuille continues to cement itself in the international art world.
With a reputation for excellence and high levels of service, GdB continues its vibrant cultural agenda striving to present the best in Canadian and International art with the same passion that ignited Helen and Jacques over forty-five years ago!
