SUMMARY:Exhibition: sculpture\, art\, music\, literature and dance: Saint Génis des Fontaines
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nCatalan Arts Symposium\nIn the intimacy of the cloisters of St. Genis des Fontaines\, built from different coloured marble (white from Céret\, pink from Villefranche- de-Conflent and black from the Corbières)\, the imaginations of 13th century sculptors created a series of fanciful men\, beasts and plants atop the stone columns. \n \n  \nSet against this historical and artistic background\, the Catalan Sculpture symposium will run from 1st – 28th August  2025\, promoting sculptors and artistes living and working in the region as well as famous artists of several nationalities. \nOrganised by the Lions Club of St Cyprien\, the symposium was originally devoted exclusively to sculpture. The first exhibition started with Pierre Renard\, sculptor and Lions Club member who explains that\, “For every 60 paintings\, only one sculpture is sold”. The symposium was therefore a chance for local artists\, without access to the galleries of big\, urban cities\, to be seen. \nThis year\, 40  artists\, sculptors\,  and other arts will exhibit their works in a variety of styles so why not come along and support them? They\, in turn\, are encouraged to make a donation from their sales\, so your purchase will also support a good cause. \nPop into our fave Saint Génis restaurant for lunch or dinner when you visit the expo. (prices from last year so might have changed but always very reasonable). \n \n\n\n\nThe Lions Club\, an international charitable organisation\, counts 1200 clubs in France. Each year French Lions clubs donate 20 million€ and one million hours to various social causes\, ranging from children with leukaemia to adults with Alzheimer’s.\n\n\n\nOpening Hours\nEvery day\n9.30 am – 12.30pm / 3pm – 7pm \nPrivate viewing 4.30pm\, Saturday 3rd August \nEntry to Cloisters 4€ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n \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
