  • Forget the clichés about old age


    This exhibition shines a spotlight on a bold, free, and inventive generation that breaks the mold and stands as the new pioneers of an ever-evolving artistic landscape.


    The artists gathered here are strong personalities with unique paths, who have chosen to make their passion a space for expression, freedom - and sometimes even emancipation.
    No matter their origin, background, or journey: each brings their own touch, their gesture, their singular vision.
    Some still hesitate to take the leap into creative entrepreneurship. Others are already using it as a springboard toward a new career, a second life.
    But for all of them, it is above all a vital momentum, a breath of fresh air, a way to break free from the everyday in order to better reinvent themselves.

    The exhibitors

    Jeweler, bookbinder, upholsterer, leatherworker, sculptor, carpenter and cabinetmaker, painter and photographer: creators driven by the same desire - to explore, create, share, make their voices heard. And to keep moving forward.
    This exhibition pays tribute to ageless creativity, radiant resilience, and the unique energy of those who, far from slowing down, are gaining new momentum.
