For its fourth edition, the Art aux jardins festival, organized by the association Ça monte en bas, now offers a rich and varied program. In all, 27 exhibition spaces, located in the Villebourbon district, going from Avenue Chamier to Rue Gustave Jay, and from Rue du Général Sarrail to Avenue Salengro, will be exceptionally open to the public.
The individuals in its spaces have indeed agreed to welcome artists for this event which is above all festive and convivial. 80 artists, painters, sculptors, dancers and other creators will take over these atypical places of representation and exhibition.
Meet at Place Lalaque
While some activities will take place all day, others will be offered at fixed times. “The best thing for participants is to come to Place Lalaque, the main entertainment venue, explains Hugues Chaussin, one of the association’s members.
