Le CouveNt is a creative space dedicated to music, visual arts, writing, multimedia and performing arts.
Its mission is to promote contemporary artistic practices and the exchange between artists and co- creation projects that connect different creative processes.
Our approach includes :
Art Residencies & workshops
Musical Performance Coaching sessions
Concerts, Exhibits & Performances.
Sound recording sessions
While in residence, the artists will benefit from an intense production time enhanced by the exchange of ideas and experiences with peers.
The "CouveNt" can provide lodging for up to 20 people and working space for up to 5 visual artists at the same time.
The "CouveNt" also organizes Open Studio events, for the public to witness the creative process and work in progress of the artists in residence.
The purpose is to provide the forum for communication and exchange of ideas.
Each artist designs the format, agenda and dynamics that best suits their work and the messages they want to pass on to the audience.
Our premises include an old convent (17th century), that has been restored over the last three years with the aim to preserve its history and style.
Le CouveNt works with a large network of local professional artists (arts advisory committee) and technicians (sound, lighting) and it is recognized as the regional culture & arts reference. Here are some of our partners:
