No less than ten cultural themes. The City of Chartres offers during the summer several cultural activities throughout the city for all ages.
“We wanted a rich program. For this, we worked with the various cultural facilities of the City and with whom we developed workshops for children” explained Isabelle Vincent, deputy mayor in charge of culture.
An exhibition, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Unesco International Heritage Convention, will be visible on Boulevard Chasles and in various places in the city (Maisons pour tous, bus) and on the storefronts of fifty partner businesses of Vitrines C ‘Chartres, illustrating fifty details of the cathedral.
The exhibition is called M’avez vous VUE (referring to the Outstanding Universal Value, highlighted by Unesco and Chartres International).
“The goal is to democratize culture by making it visible to everyone,” added Isabelle Vincent.
The Chemin des Arts offers three main exhibitions:
The exhibition of Suzanne Spahi is available until September 4 at Saint-Eman Chapel. Visitors will be able to observe twenty-nine works by the artist who is passionate about mosaics. His work is inspired by the decorative arts, his travels and his encounters.
At the Saint-Vincent priorythe public will be able to admire twenty-five creations by Sébastiano Migliarini. Originally from Milan, the sculptor favors working on marble and plays on the visibility of the curves and nuances of the stone.
Until September 18, Saint-André collegiate church welcomes the works of Brigitte Pelen. Statues, pagan icons as well as portraiture will be honored.
