Des montagnes et des artistes (Mountains and artists)

Contemporary art trail along the GR10 from Hendaye to Collioure

Summer 2023, from June to September

An interregional event initiated by La MÉCA Frac Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Les Abattoirs, Musée - Frac Occitanie Toulouse, with the participation of Frac Occitanie Montpellier, an exceptional event for the 40th anniversary of the Frac.

In 2023, the Fracs will celebrate their 40th anniversary throughout France, through a rich programme conceived from their nomadic collections, exhibited wherever the opportunity arises to offer themselves to new audiences: heritage sites, museums, associative sites, libraries, etc. To celebrate this great age, La MÉCA Frac Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Les Abattoirs, Musée - Frac Occitanie Toulouse, with the participation of Frac Occitanie Montpellier, are initiating a joint project, imagining an original cultural event, humanly rich and geographically intrepid. This event will feature works of art and artists along the GR10, which crosses the Pyrenees from west to east, from Hendaye to Collioure, linking ten or so stopover towns through as many exhibition projects.
