An Evening to Remember: VIP Reception for John Little: Montreal’s Heritage in Paint

Last night, we had the pleasure of welcoming collectors, supporters, and friends of the Château Ramezay for a special reception to celebrate John Little: Montreal’s Heritage in Paint, the first-ever museum exhibition dedicated to the beloved Montréal-born painter.

Set within the historic walls of the Château Ramezay, the evening offered distinguished guests an exclusive opportunity to enjoy the exhibition alongside archival materials from the artist’s studio.

We were honoured to be joined by members of the Little family, including Roger Little, and several of the private collectors who generously lent works to the exhibition. I also want to extend my deepest thanks to museum director, André Delisle, whose vision brought this project to life; Christine Brisson and the Château Ramezay team for their tireless coordination; and to Lillian Dumbrille and Ariela Alperstein for their dedicated work organizing the studio archives.

It was heartening to see so many familiar faces come together to celebrate an artist who quietly, but powerfully, documented the changing face of Montréal over the course of his lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who attended — your presence made the evening truly special.

We look forward to welcoming the public as the exhibition continues until September 28, 2025.
