A cultural association with musical groups, painters and sculptors, Agora des Arts is a springboard to make the general public known. Created in 1997, this association began organizing exhibitions and performances where artists created their works live, place du Tertre in Montmartre, the first Sunday of the month. So for almost 15 years, every first Sunday of the month, one finds himself in Square at the Arènes in the Green Arena to admire artists and their works. Do not hesitate to wear your bridge and paint palette, your instruments and microphones, your marble and your massettes, and let yourself be inspired by the majestic crowds and décor that surround you. Agora des Arts has made it possible to showcase and discover many artists. Concerts are held at each session (rock, blues, pop, jazz, reggae) as well as poetry readings or dances. Like any association, the annual contribution amounts to € 10. Please note that for music groups your benefits will then be compensated. Notice to amateurs, Agora des Arts invites all artistic associations that also wish to make themselves known!

Zébra3 is a contemporary art studio based in Bordeaux. Founded in 1993, this Bordeaux-based association made a name for itself with the publication of the first mail-order art catalog, Buy-Sellf.

The association supports artists at every stage of their projects, providing them with a 400 m2 production workshop.

Ceramics are fantastic, and Fiona du Mesnildot is sure to agree! Trained as a graphic artist and designer, she put her hands in the clay a few years ago, and recently opened her workshop in the Bacalan district. All year round, she runs classes for teenagers and adults, introducing everyone to the joys of modelling. Private workshops are also available, for creative sessions in small groups. The studio's added bonus is that children as young as 6 years old can be introduced to this art form, with discovery sessions and workshops reserved for children. We also love the themed "ceramic snacks" every last Sunday of the month!
