SUMMARY:ART IN PORT VENDRES
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nVermeille Internationale Art Exhibition\nThe sixth edition of the Exhibition of the artists of the Côte Vermeille will be held at the Dome in Port-Vendres from 12th to 17th June. \nVermeille Internationale is a not-for-profit association based in Port Vendres\, whose mission statement reads: “Having a good time with friends\, whilst raising money for good causes”.  \nAiming to improve integration between international and French residents whilst supporting local and international charities\, each year they organise an art exhibition in the Dôme\, offering local artists from the Côte Vermeille an opportunity to showcase their work.  \nLast year’s event saw over 500 visitors raise over 1500€!\nOpen to all amateurs\, this is an exceptional opportunity for local creatives to meet with the general public. Each artist can exhibit 1-4 pieces\, meaning there is always a great variety of work on offer. \nEvery year there is an impressive range of styles\, mediums and nationalities with over 18 countries represented within the association! Join them on Saturday 15th from 7.30pm to 11pm for an extra special evening viewing\, accompanied by tapas and music (10€). \nFurther information\, including registration forms for artists who would like to exhibit\, can be found on the website. \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAMME\nTuesday 11th\n10am – 12.30pm Delivery of work (by appointment in the afternoon)\n6pm – 8pm Private viewing \nWednesday 12th – Friday 14th\n11am – 7pm Exhibition open \nSaturday 15th\n11am- 7pm Exhibition open\n7.30pm – 11pm Music and tapas evening \nSunday 16th – Monday 17th\n11am – 7pm Exhibition open\n7pm Removal of work from \n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=”” txt_align=”” shape=”” style=”” color=”” css=”.vc_custom_1493708804204{background-color: #b58f89 !important;}”] \nLe Dôme – Port Vendres\nWith Michael Brady \n \nFrom assemblies of legislatures that convene under them to zoological collections housed by them\, domes signal unusual venues round the world. \nFrance has many\, including Le Dôme restaurant\, an Art Déco masterpiece on the Left Bank in Paris\, Le Dôme Théâtre in Albertville and the ultramodern Le Dôme entertainment centre in Marseille. \nThough of lesser fame\, Le Dôme in Port Vendres sets itself apart from its namesakes by having the most curious of dome histories. \nDesigned in the late 18th century by royal architect Charles de Wailly as one of the grand buildings contiguous with Place de l’Obélisque at the harbour\, the neoclassical Le Dôme originally was meant to be a hotel for foreigners. \nIt must have done poorly at that\, as in 1835\, five years after Port Vendres became the principal port for dispatching soldiers and supplies to the French colony in Algeria\, Le Dôme was given to the Army as a flat for the military governor of the adjoining barracks. \nIt fulfilled that role for some hundred years. \nPartly destroyed during the Second World War\, Le Dôme was restored afterwards as an art and culture centre. The restoration was visionary\, as today Le Dôme offers a pallet of exhibitions\, concerts and other cultural events\, peaking in summer. \nInside\, the chalk-white walls impart an aura of veneration to works displayed\, and the lower-level garden facing l’Obélisque affords a splendid view of the harbour as well as superb acoustics for concerts held there. \nAt the garden level there’s a small\, permanent gallery dedicated to the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh\, the famed early 20th century architect\, designer and artist. The location is fitting\, as in 1923\, the scenes in and around Port Vendres prompted him to devote himself entirely to painting. \nOpening hours throughout the year are 2.30pm – 7pm\, or longer for special events.\nFor the schedule of upcoming events\, contact the Port Vendres Office de tourisme (0468820754) or the Mairie (04 68820103) \n[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
