Time for new art

Meetings with contemporary art are organised in museums, galleries or workshops. They last 30 minutes and happen wherever interesting and good art is available, always during lunch-time between 13.00 and 13.30 hours.

Taking time for new art can be a positive interruption of our daily routine, prolong a lunch break, provide a chance to think about something else and take a rest to retrieve some new energy.

[Review of the 2011 programme]

Time for culture

Culture enters offices! These cultural arrangements are presents from companies to their employees.

Exprmntl Gallery, Toulouse

Time-for-culture-in-the-office is a 30 minutes event. Culture can happen everywhere: in the office, the production hangar, at the reception desk. Authors, poets, actors, dancers, artists and performers are invited: a recitation, an artistic interpretation, a scene from a theatre play or a literary statement will interrupt the working day for a short period of time - and this time is far from being lost.
