The contemporary creation

With its collection of more than 2,700 works, the spectrum that the Fonds régional d’art contemporain (Frac) Normandie Rouen covers is impressive. The Matmut Contemporary Art Center Castle is not to be outdone with its four exhibitions per year of artists of national and international scope. More industrial atmosphere at the SHED in Maromme where creation is lived as an experience. Contemporary art is also invited to Hangar 109, Epoxy and even in churches with the festival Courant d’art or in the eleven museums of the Metropolis with the event La Ronde which proposes to today’s artists to make dialogue their works with the permanent collections. Take advantage of it, it’s free!
Live art outdoors!! In the land of the Impressionists who took their easels out of the workshops to be as close as possible to the outdoor sensations, it is only natural that art is lived in the open air. Take the street-art itineraries that crisscross the city, to meet the frescoes of local and international artists. In 2024, rush into the Forest of Roumare, with its land art course of XXL works. This “Monumental Forest”, whose first edition took place in the Green Forest, is an international event and delights the young and old. Muse in the park of the Matmut Contemporary Art Center to enjoy sculptures by world-famous artists, in that of the Château de Vascœuil with works by star artists or that of Château Bois-Guilbert and its poetic creations that smell of calm and escape.
