Most important exhibitions Deux-Sèvres

This contemporary art festival was created in 2001 by a group of artists to promote the plastic arts of today, without an elitist spirit. Creation, quality, conviviality around about fifty exhibitors: this is what you will discover during 15 days on the site of the Orangery. Various animations: musical openings, shows, creative workshops, conferences. The event closes with a concert and a prize-giving ceremony.

In the former pottery kiln of Magné, a modest local workshop created in the early ^19th century and closed in 1980. The pottery, now converted into an art gallery, hosts a number of exhibitions of painting, sculpture, photography and digital art, among other local curiosities. A number of creative workshops are also on offer. 5,000 visitors pass through every year, from April to the end of October.
