Parce Que l'Art Est Une Fête!
Indeed, art is a party this summer in Normandy! France's northern province
pulls out all the stops in celebration of artists, both young and old.
From summer's start, Normandy has been highlighting its inspirational role as
muse for one of (if not, the)
greatest transformation of modern era art.
Normandie Impressionniste is a festival not to be missed, and luckily, it will be continuing through the month of September. As lofty as its reputation as art muse may be, Normandy has not forgotten its humble, youthful beginnings. This weekend in the coastal town of Cabourg, seven young photographers will be at the center of attention for what promises to be an exciting artistic exploration, as well as, one heck of a party!
With the same independent spirit that spurred an artistic revolution over 100 years ago, the team behind 'Project Cabourg' set out to create a festival that would celebrate the talent of young photographers without compromising their artistic freedom. It is for this reason that the photographs exhibited run the spectrum of styles, with their only common denominator being quality, according to the festival’s creators. Without the constraints of a specific motif or conviction, the Project’s chosen artists have full rein to express their creative curiosities in an atmosphere that encourages imaginative exploration.
Cabourg has long been the inspiration for some of France's greatest artists, with its beauty and charm beguiling all who visit. This weekend it continues its role as muse of both art and pleasure.
