Born in France, Frédéric Loury studied at IDRAC Paris and obtained a master’s degree in Commerce and Administration in 1994. He opened the SAS gallery in February 2002 in Montreal and presented more than 250 exhibitions on three continents. He took over the interim management of AGAC and co-founded the Foire Papier. In January 2009, he launched the organization Art Souterrain, which promotes contemporary art within Montreal’s underground network through a festival and a calendar of annual exhibitions. In less than ten years, the festival has become an unmissable event that has brought together more than 900 artist projects and covered by more than 1,000 media. To date, Art Souterrain has become a Canadian benchmark for the integration of works of art in public spaces and atypical environments through initiatives such as Vitrine sur l’art, Art en entreprise, le Cercle or Déviation.
In 2018, he co-founded Artch in partnership with the CJE du centre-ville. This new organization supports and promotes emerging artists by offering them training, a grant and an exhibition.
In 2020, he concluded a historic agreement with the real estate community in Montreal by creating artist residencies in vacant businesses.
