Update your BOOKMARKS!
This Blog site will be retired... why?
WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE!!
A convention for lovers of pens, writing, & other fine stationery.
Exciting!
We will be using the same venue as the last two years, but this time we will be hosted in BOTH halls. Entry will be through the courtyard again this coming year as the work on the church has been completed. And we will have four workshop rooms. This means more vendors and more workshops!
Mark your calendars: Saturday, May 29th, 2027
Every 3rd Saturday of every month, there is a meetup 3-5pm for pen and ink enthusiasts.
It is called an Inkshare! We share knowledge, skills, supplies. We write and draw.
We share knowledge and enthusiasm.
Come out to Presotea LaSalle (7559 Newman Blvd, Lasalle, Quebec H8N 0C2).
3-5pm
How to Get to Scriven
Entrance: The venue entrance is on Bishop Street.
Please
be aware that there is ongoing construction on St. Catherine Street.
However, both Crescent Street and Mackay Street remain open between
Sherbrooke Street and René-Lévesque Boulevard, and several parking
garages are available on these streets.
We highly recommend parking nearby and walking to the venue.
For
pedestrians, we recommend walking from Guy–Concordia Station via De
Maisonneuve Boulevard and heading south on Bishop Street to the
entrance.
We can’t wait to see you all!

Comment se rendre à Scriven
Entrée : l’entrée du site se trouve sur la rue Bishop.
Veuillez
noter qu’il y a actuellement des travaux sur la rue Sainte-Catherine.
Toutefois, les rues Crescent et Mackay demeurent ouvertes entre la rue
Sherbrooke et le boulevard René-Lévesque, et plusieurs stationnements
intérieurs sont accessibles sur ces rues.
Nous vous recommandons fortement de stationner à proximité et de marcher jusqu’au site.
Pour
les piétons, nous recommandons de partir de la station Guy–Concordia,
de marcher le long du boulevard De Maisonneuve, puis de descendre vers
le sud sur la rue Bishop jusqu’à l’entrée.
Nous avons très hâte de vous accueillir !
Are you ready? We are ready!
There is a lot of construction going on around our venue, thanks to the city's determination to improve the downtown core by 2030. As such, be mindful when you travel to the event. Street parking and parking lots are still available, though not along St-Catherine Street West. Taking public transit is always best.
The nicest walk is along DeMaisonneuve between Concordia University's two main buildings (Hall Building and Library Building). Walk down Bishop street to the second entrance close to the corner. This is the main entrance to our venue.
The first 100 attendees will receive a small Welcome Bag with some lovely goodies inside. Check our Instagram for details.
Remember to be on time to the workshops you wish to attend.
This year, we have a magazine with great articles, the schedule and vendor map, and more. Limited supply, also only 100.
Also this year, we have Nueva Era vending and they will be hosting a small cafe within the venue offering sweet treats and coffee.
Keep an eye on our Instagram and our Facebook pages for more news. S
SEE YOU THERE!
