Originally launched in 1974 by artists associated with the Cooperative des artistes du Nouvel-Ontario, the gallery was first established as part of La Slague, a local Franco-Ontarian community centre. It later moved to the Centre des jeunes, a Franco-Ontarian youth centre, after La Slague ceased operations.
In 1995, the gallery was incorporated as a separate organization.
The gallery focuses primarily on contemporary art by Franco-Ontarian artists.
It is slated to move in 2022 to the new Place des Arts facility in downtown Sudbury.[1]
