Connecting with Art Explora!

Apartés are conversations about the arts led by volunteers with a public in a situation of isolation or fragility (vulnerable elderly people, people in hospital or supported by social structures, prison environment) or for whom the arts and culture can be a lever - school environment, professional integration...

True spaces for creating social links, listening and sharing, these artistic discoveries are centered around themes suggested by volunteers: painting, photography, music, literature, cinema... all the arts are sources of exchange and stimulate curiosity. It's a breath of fresh air for participants.

Un Pied au Musée offers people in the care of social or health services visits to adapted cultural sites, accompanied by trained volunteers.

These visits, centered on the notions of welcoming, meeting and sharing, are part of a complementary approach to existing mediation in partner cultural institutions (museums, festivals, art centers or even third-party cultural venues). A single, shared goal: to remove the last barriers of self-censorship that hold back attendance at cultural venues.

By offering a collective experience, these tours affirm art and culture as a common heritage, legitimize and encourage all emotions, and arouse curiosity and the desire to return.

Discover an art form, an artist or a work of art through hands-on experience - that's what the Ateliers Art Explora are all about. Conceived directly by volunteers, or in collaboration with artists or cultural organizations, these encounters give participants the opportunity to become involved in artistic creation in all its forms (dance, reading, theater, painting, cinema, etc.) and with no prerequisites. Together, with the support of volunteers, participants have the opportunity to express themselves, help each other and, through the bonds created, regain or strengthen their self-confidence, contributing to the well-being of each individual and the dissemination of artistic practices by all.
