This free festival returns to Heritage Days: artists and places already known

With growing success each year, the “Itinerary in search of artists” festival, organized by Pré-Bocage Intercom and the association Reality Current Artprepares his return to Calvados for what will be his 6th edition.

As usual, the festival will be held across the Pré-Bocageon the occasion of the European Heritage Days, in September 2024. More precisely, over two weekends: the 14-15 and the September 21-22.

And although these dates may still be far away, the artists who will be present on this occasion are already known. In total, they will be 14including 12 plastic artists, distributed across a dozen places in the Pré-Bocage.

A more condensed territory this year

This year, we wanted to tighten up the space. We realized last year that there was too much distance to cover if we wanted to go to each location, so we wanted to offer a more condensed location, while still offering new places to discover.

Programming – as a reminder, completely free – will therefore intertwine new places with the renewal of others, which have become very identified over the years, as well as a return to Villers-Bocage, a first in five years.

It is also there, in a historic pre-war residence, that the festival info point, the place to go to obtain more details or information. This will therefore be the preferred location if necessary.
