About Art Souterrain
Art Souterrain is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 with the mandate to make contemporary art accessible to the general public. With a view to demystifying works and artistic approaches, the organization is implementing several annual projects that seek to educate the eye and create a link between the work and its audience.
In order to achieve its goals, Art Souterrain relies on a strong model that consists in bringing art out of traditional exhibition spaces in order to bring it to meet individuals. By investing in unconventional places, the organization wants to surprise everyone in their daily lives and thus provoke an interaction of a new kind.
