MONTRÉAL, Nov. 13, 2026 /CNW/ — CDPQ Infra unveils the artists selected to create five new permanent artworks that will be installed in REM stations. The works will be visible to users on two REM branches currently in service, Anse-à-l’Orme and Deux-Montagnes, as well as on the future YUL-Aéroport-Montréal-Trudeau branch.

These new permanent artworks are part of the REM’s UNIR public art program and the Politique d’intégration des arts à l’architecture (policy on the integration of arts into architecture) of the Ministère de la Culture, du Patrimoine, des Communications et de la Langue française. In total, nearly $8 million has been invested in artworks installed at various locations across the network. Installation of these works will take place gradually over the coming months.

Selected artists are:

  • Niap, ᐊᐅᓚᔪ (Aulaju) / Paysage d’eau vivante | McGill station
  • Michel de Broin, Entrelacs | Pierrefonds-Roxboro station
  • Karen Kraven, La Couturière | Côte-de-Liesse station
  • Veronika Pausova, Click Clack | Kirkland station
  • Mara Eagle, Entre ici et là | Marie-Curie station

These artworks will join those already installed or soon to be installed in eight other REM stations.

“Public art is more than an obligation for CDPQ Infra; it is at the heart of our vision for a harmonious and successful integration of the REM into greater Montréal. The works selected under the UNIR program each reflect, in their own way, the identity of the communities that share this territory and the bonds that unite them.”

 – Daniel Farina, President and Chief Executive Officer, CDPQ Infra

“With artworks integrated into several stations across the network, the REM is set to become an important venue for public art in Montréal and Québec. It is an exceptional opportunity to bring contemporary creation into the daily lives of thousands of people and to foster encounters between art, architecture and users.”

 – Marie-Justine Snider, Curator, La Caisse

CDPQ Infra develops video capsules and educational kits for each artwork integrated into the REM. These are made available to communities for cultural mediation purposes.
