NDG is getting the MoMA treatment — cardboard edition.
MoMA built a cardboard city with families.
So naturally… NDG said hold my depanneur.
We’re turning recycled boxes into triplexes, metro stops, churches, and corner stores — a full walk-through neighbourhood built by real NDG kids, real NDG hands, and an alarming amount of tape.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about imagination, community, and proving that a cereal box can absolutely become architecture.
From MoMA to Monkland, cardboard cities belong to everyone.
Come see NDG — rebuilt from the inside out.

Notre-dame-des-arts: Qui sommes-nous? / Notre Dame des Arts - Who are we?
Notre-Dame-des-Arts est un organisme charitable implanté à Notre-dame-de-Grâce à Montréal qui a pour but de soutenir les arts et la culture dans la communauté.
Nous avons fondé Notre-Dame-des-Arts afin de créer des ponts entre les artistes et les collectifs artistiques, afin de promouvoir et financer des événements et des projets artistiques et afin d’offrir des formations de qualité pour permettre aux artistes de s’épanouir. NDG est un quartier bo**ré de projets d’envergure incluant : le festival de film Hors les murs, Balconfête, la Ruche d’art, ainsi que nos évènements: La Semaine des arts, Imagine Monkland, MaNDA et Premiers jeudis. Notre-Dame-des-Arts espère créer un véritable mouvement citoyen pour les arts et propulser ces événements, et bien d’autres, vers de nouveaux sommets.

Notre-Dame-des-Arts is a charitable organization based in the Montreal neighbourhood of Notre-dame-de-Grace, and is dedicated to supporting arts and culture in our community.
We founded Notre-Dame-des-Arts to help strengthen connections between artists and art collectives within the neighbourhood, to provide a platform to help promote and raise funds for local events and art projects, and to offer training opportunities for artists to develop their skills. Ours is a neighbourhood brimming with talent and cultural projects, including; Off The Wall Film Festival, Porchfest, NDG Art Hive, and our own events: Arts Week, Imagine Monkland, MaNDA and First Thursdays. We want to ensure these projects—and others like them—thrive by acting as promoter of local arts, and as a community hub for artists and groups that wish to more effectively fundraise and share skills and resources. We hope you join us in our mission to help champion the arts the NDG!
