WHEN CONTEMPORARY ART TRANSFORMS THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THE CITY

Un Été au Havre has given life to a permanent collection of contemporary works scattered throughout the city. This year, the event is going one step further by blurring the boundaries between public and private spaces. 

In 2023, a dozen artistic experiments and digital works will be assiciated with the event. Each summer, leading artists are invited to create a special work to amaze residents and visitors alike. These installations and contemporary works scattered around the public space invite you to a unique cultural experience. 

 

Since 2017, Un Été Au Havre has been questioning the place of art in the city. Art for whom ? Art for what ? Art in what way ? Even after six editions, these questions are still relevant ! Gaël Charbau, the new artistic director, is inviting us to explore new forms of art to help local people reclaim urban space by looking at it differently." Édouard PHILIPPE.

Keep your eyes peeled for sculptures, installations, fashion, video art and performance art taking place in the station, the city centre, the beach, the Docks Vauban and many other areas.

GET READY FOR AN IMMERSIVE ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE !
