École des beaux-arts de Montréal
École des beaux-arts de Montréal (The School of Fine Arts in Montreal, "EBAM") was an educational institution founded in Quebec in 1922. The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society was instrumental in its creation. It now houses the Office québécois de la langue française.
Faculty of the school include Edwin Holgate as well as Academy Award-winning animator and painter Frédéric Back, who taught there briefly prior to joining Radio-Canada.[1] Alumni include Armand Vaillancourt, Paul-Émile Borduas, Pierre Granche, Kate McGarrigle, Guido Molinari and Jacques Drouin.[2]
The building was completed in 1922 as the Commercial & Technical High School, designed by Montreal architect Jean-Omer Marchand, and is located at 3450 Saint Urbain Street (at Sherbrooke Street) in Montreal.[3]
In 1969, the school was incorporated into the Family of the Arts of the University of Quebec at Montreal.
