Serge Malenfant
Founder, President, and Coordinator of the M.U.R.I.R.S. organization, artistic painter, illustrator, stage designer, and mural painter, Serge Malenfant is a native of Sherbrooke with a passion for local history. In 1997, his desire to paint exceeded the canvas and he sought to bring colour to his environment, to collective living space. This is his vision of the function of art and murals. His enthusiasm and strong determination for realizing a challenging large-scale artistic and historical mural project has never ceased to propel him. This adventure thus allows him to marry his twin passions for art and history.
