The Onzain Arts and Culture association aims to promote intercultural arts (literary, pictorial, photographic, etc.). It mainly ensures the organization of the Book and Painting Fair each year in Onzain and, where applicable, one or more literary meetings around a theme or an author.
The general meeting of the association was held on Friday January 17, under the chairmanship of Jean-Pierre Barré and in the presence of Philippe Carrez, deputy mayor. Gerard Chastang, secretary, had prepared the activity report in the form of a free poem entitled Wishes for a year of readings. This formula was very appreciated by all the participants, all of whom are obviously passionate about books and reading.
The 2024 Book Fair was held on Sunday October 6. This year, the guest of honor was Philippe Larbier, a comic book illustrator. 34 authors were present. Attendance was excellent. In this context, Philippe Larbier also intervened in 4 classes at the Onzain primary school. On this occasion, each student was given a comic book free of charge. This operation was very popular with the children and teachers.
See you Sunday October 5
Jean-Pierre Barré spoke about the year 2025 and more particularly its highlight which will be a new edition of the Book Fair scheduled for Sunday October 5. He warmly thanked his team for the preparation work to make this event a success. Pre-registrations have already been registered. The activities will be decided during the first semester.
-And to conclude, by quoting Gerard Chastang: “ Next October, we will enter a new salon, for new meetings. Authors await us there, invite us there. In the meantime, let’s read, let’s read again, let’s dream our lives! »
