Newly added:
Héritage Montréal is preparing to move to new offices soon. We look forward to sharing more details about this new chapter with you in an upcoming announcement. In the meantime, this move is also a chance to declutter a bit! So, we’re selling several pieces of furniture and other items we no longer need. It’s a great way to give them a second life while supporting our cause: the proceeds will go toward Héritage Montréal’s mission.
Check out the list of available items and this gallery to see photos. Items are available on a first-come, first-served basis. More items will be added to the list in the coming days. You can view the items or pick them up by appointment by filling out the registration form. Appointments are available on September 9, 10, 11, and 14, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Les articles se trouvent au 3575 Saint-Laurent, bureau 480, Montréal, QC, H2X 2T7.

At La Guilde:
Thomas Whiteley is a printmaker based in Kuujjuaq, QC. Though he always had an interest in art, it was only in 2024 that he began devoting himself more seriously to printmaking. After attending a three-week-long training with professional artist Nadine Bariteau in Kuujjuaq, he acquired additional tools and techniques to develop his art practice. Since then, Whiteley has created a great number of prints. His work has been displayed in many galleries, such as Tivi Gallery (Kuujjuaq), La Guilde (Montreal) and Campbell River Art Gallery (B.C.), and is part of an institutional collection. In 2025, he was also the recipient of the Canada Arts Council Grant. His work as a pilot for Air Inuit continues to fuel his artistic inspiration by offering him a unique perspective on northern landscapes and Inuit culture. Today, Whiteley specializes in woodcut engraving and lino cutting. He remains dedicated to representing his northern way of life, modern Inuit culture, and his relationship with the land and animals.
