Following last year's successful event.
Association 'Les Amis de Monflanquin' in partnership with the Mairie of Monflanquin and GEM Arts Plastiques present Monflanquin Festival of Arts and Heritage.
Festival dates: 20th & 21st June 2020
On Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st of June 2020 the third Monflanquin Festival of Arts and Heritage will take place. Artistic exhibition spaces, both 'pop up' and permanent, plus a variety of other attractions will be present in the heart of the bastide of Monflanquin.
A flavour of the festival in 2018:
The organizers of the Festival (the association 'Les Amis de Monflanquin') are once again working in collaboration with the Mairie of Monflanquin and GEM Arts Plastiques to celebrate the art of the area and more.
A weekend in which both public buildings and some residents of Monflanquin will open their doors to the public as 'pop-up' temporary galleries offering artist's work for sale plus workshops, courses, music and activities for children, offering a great family day out.
We welcome all those who produce their own works such as paintings, printing, photography, textiles, ceramics, jewellery and handicrafts.
Visitors will be able to explore the streets and Carrérots to visit the pop-up galleries and also be able to participate in a varied program of art and crafts. Heritage also plays an important role in the life of the village and will be featured in events and exhibitions throughout the weekend.
We are sure that 2019's festival, through the use of unusual exhibition venues, helped artists reach a new audience and make art more accessible to all.
Food and drink will be offered by the restaurants and bars of the village.
There is no selection procedure, the only condition is that participants must produce/create their own products. The festival receives no outside funding and is entirely self-financing. It is run by volunteers who make no charge for their time. In order to cover the costs of publicity, posters, flyers, signage and a full colour printed programme a small charge is made to visiting artists. Details of this can be found in the information for artists.
The festival is a non-profit event, any funds remaining at the end of the festival will be used for future festivals or other local actions.
Please come and visit this Festival and feel free to share so that we can reach as many people as possible.
