Being held for the first time between 1 June – 30 September 2007, “Out in the Sun/Summer in the Art Centres” is giving the public the chance to discover a host of exhibitions and art events all over France. Involving almost forty contemporary art centres, this summer festival is being coordinated by d.c.a the french association for the development of art centres, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture and Communications’ Visual Art Delegation.
“Out in the Sun / Summer in the art centres” is offering dozens of new exhibitions all over France, illustrating the richness and dynamism of contemporary creative work — tomorrow’s heritage — via the sheer variety of its artists and what they art presenting.
The programme is interspersed with encounters, talks, concerts and performances, all of them having some connection with the exhibitions. From north to south, from east to west — and in the capital — these are events not to be missed.
Initiated by d.c.a — now a hub for 37 art centres from 19 regions and 32 départements — “Out in the Sun” highlights the way the network now covers the whole of the country.
For over thirty years the contemporary art centres have been venues for artistic experiment and creation, while actively contributing to the circulation of contemporary art and increasing public awareness to the latest on the art scene. Each year they draw hundreds of thousands of visitors.
A book/magazine will be published in December 2007 to keep the memory of those events alive.
It will be a richly illustrated X ray of the art centres, also recapitulating the major events of the summer programming.

Also available in May, a brochure recapitulating the whole programming including a map of the French art centres.
