Warhol is known for his insightful\, often witty\, riffs on the nuances of modern society\, consumerism\, and celebrity\, but it is rare for an exhibition to focus so keenly on Warhol’s personal life and personal beliefs. ‘Andy Warhol: Revelation’ explores the artist’s relationship with faith\, from his Byzantine Catholic upbringing to the religious imagery that appears in a selection of his works. \nThe collection of works exhibited at ‘Revelation’ include Catholic iconography re-appropriated into modern consumerism\, Renaissance imagery\, and deep exploration of the relationship between feminism\, queer theory\, and religion. Highlights of the collection include paintings from Warhol’s Last Supper series (1986) and the unfinished film The Chelsea Girls (1966).

Montreal started its own festival in 2013. There was already a lively street art and graffiti scene in Montreal\, but the festival has catapulted it to another realm. \nFor the large murals\, they have a 50/50 mix of Canadian to international artists. They focus primarily on Canadian artists for the smaller venues\, pop-ups and temporary art installations. \nThe festival secured the support of the business improvement district for the St. Lawrence Boulevard. This has ensured that they can close the street for the full 11-day festival. The business support and street closure have made it possible for them to program additional events\, such as music and art installations\, attracting over 415\,000 visits to the festival.
