The Artist Pony Comes to Quartier Petit Champlain and Place-Royale
This summer, an exhibition unlike any other is warming hearts in Quartier Petit Champlain and Place-Royale: Câlins settles into Old Québec.
From May 12 to August 3, four giant and endearing sculptures come to life in the heart of these historic districts—and they’re waiting for just one thing: to offer a little love.
Behind these creations lies Pony’s singular universe: touching, vulnerable characters, each bearing their own scars and stories. Imperfect beings, deeply human, to whom we instantly grow attached.
Meet the four artworks:
- Dandy — a tender-hearted dandelion, as discreet as it is resilient
- Sponji — a sponge that absorbs everything around it, both the good and the heavy
- Anxiyeti — a gentle yeti whose mission is to offer a moment of relief to sensitive souls
- Kinzu — a broken heart that sees its scars as symbols of resilience
This outdoor exhibition is entirely free and can be discovered at your own pace, whether with family, friends, or on your own. A wonderful opportunity to (re)discover the cobblestone streets and enchanting scenery of Old Québec from a fresh perspective.
📍 The locations of the artworks are indicated on the map below.
This project is made possible thanks to financial support from Vision entrepreneuriale Québec 2030 of the City of Québec, powered by the Fonds de la région de la Capitale-Nationale.
Focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, growth, financing, and support, Vision entrepreneuriale Québec 2030 aims to make Québec City the country’s capital of entrepreneurship.

An exhibition proudly presented by the Quartier Petit Champlain Cooperative on behalf of the Petit Champlain & Place-Royale business community.
Please note that Pony's sculptures will be installed on the morning of May 12th — the exhibition will therefore only be viewable in its entirety from the evening onwards
