SUCCESS OF OPEN DOORS IN ARTISTS' STUDIOS

A visit to the Morinerie's workshops in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps is always a great way to enjoy cultural and artistic encounters. This Mecca of art in the city is also a fine example of "the conversion of a brownfield site into a cultural and artistic centre", as Annie Catelas, mistress of this private site who initiated this transformation, puts it. As an art and culture enthusiast, she welcomes around forty artists and associations to the site.
Artists that the public was able to meet all weekend thanks to the "open doors". The formula is a good one because, each time, the attendance is very high. The one on Saturday and Sunday afternoon was proof of this. Visitors had to park far away because there were so many of them.
Each year, this site of multidisciplinary creation, offers quality works in the plastic arts, visual arts, performing arts and decorative arts.

With favourites (necessarily subjective) for the collective "Le Bled", the resin hippopotamus by the sculptor Pierre-Jean Chabert, the photographs by Christine Baudoin, the collages on Plexiglas by Nantal or the magnificent work of the glass spinner Verry Bell. All the talented artists gathered here were admired by the visitors who appreciated this stroke of artistic freshness in an atypical place.
